Run UAE payroll inside your ERP or HR system, generate WPS salary files for your bank or exchange house, and keep gratuity and leave balances accurate.
To run WPS payroll from an ERP in the UAE, you calculate salaries in the payroll module and generate a Salary Information File (SIF) for your bank or exchange house, as required by MOHRE's Wage Protection System. Zoho Payroll, Odoo Enterprise and ERPNext with Frappe HR can all do this, with end-of-service gratuity accrued monthly and leave balances linked to pay.
The Wage Protection System (WPS) is run by the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MOHRE). Most private-sector employers pay salaries through approved banks or agents, using a Salary Information File (SIF) that lists each employee's pay for the period. Late or incorrect payments can be flagged by the system.
Many UAE companies still calculate payroll in spreadsheets, then rebuild the SIF file by hand for the bank. That works until headcount grows, allowances change or someone leaves mid-month. End-of-service gratuity under the UAE Labour Law, leave balances and air ticket accruals add more manual steps.
We set up payroll inside your ERP or HR system so attendance, leave, allowances and deductions flow into the payroll run, the SIF file is generated from the same data, and costs post to the right accounts and cost centers automatically.
Set up to match your contracts, pay structures and bank requirements.
Salary Information Files produced in the format your bank or exchange house accepts, using employee MOHRE IDs, routing codes and account details stored in the system.
Basic salary, housing, transport and other allowances defined per grade or contract, with overtime and deductions calculated consistently.
End-of-service gratuity calculated on the rules in the UAE Labour Law and accrued monthly, so the liability on your balance sheet stays current.
Annual, sick and unpaid leave policies, with balances updated automatically and unpaid days reflected in payroll.
Nationality and role data kept in the HR records, with reports that help you track Emiratisation headcount against your targets.
Visa, Emirates ID, passport and labour card details stored with expiry alerts, so renewals are not missed.
We choose the payroll tool that fits your ERP and headcount.
Before your first payroll run in the new system, we confirm each of these.
