Payroll Processing & WPS Compliance

Accounting Services

Secure, Accurate, and 100% Compliant Payroll in the UAE

In the UAE, accurate and timely payroll processing is not merely an HR function—it is a legal mandate governed by the strict Wage Protection System (WPS). Non-compliance results in severe fines, work permit blocks, and reputational damage. FrankDigit Accounting Services, led by Bilal Mogul, provides a complete, outsourced payroll solution that guarantees full adherence to MOHRE (Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation) regulations, ensuring your employees are paid correctly and on time, every time.

We leverage secure cloud technology and our compliance expertise to manage every detail, from calculating End-of-Service Gratuity to preparing the mandatory Salary Information File (SIF). By entrusting your payroll to our CTI-focused team, you eliminate risk and free up internal resources, securing your financial reputation and maintaining full compliance across Dubai’s Mainland and Free Zones.

Payroll Processing and WPS: The UAE Legal Requirement

Payroll Processing involves accurately calculating salaries, benefits, and deductions. In the UAE, this process is critically linked to the Wage Protection System (WPS), a government-mandated electronic transfer system designed to ensure every private sector employee is paid on time. WPS compliance is mandatory for all companies registered under MOHRE. Failure to submit the accurate Salary Information File (SIF) or delayed payments (past 15 days of the due date) immediately triggers significant penalties, suspension of new work permits, and potential legal action.

Navigating WPS Penalties and Complexities

WPS non-compliance is one of the quickest ways a business can face operational challenges in Dubai. Our expertise ensures you remain on the safe side of the law.

Penalties for Non-Compliance

The cost of in-house payroll errors is high. Penalties can include AED 5,000 fine per employee for misrepresenting salary data, immediate suspension of the ability to obtain new work permits for chronic delays, and a downgrade in your MOHRE company classification. We guarantee the WPS SIF file is submitted correctly and on time, shielding your business from these operational and financial risks, and ensuring the smooth running of your Free Zone or Mainland entity.

Gratuity and Exemption Handling

We meticulously track continuous service periods to ensure the accurate accrual and calculation of End-of-Service Gratuity (EOSG), which is based on complex formulas tied to salary and tenure. Furthermore, we advise on categories of employees who may be exempt from the WPS process (e.g., those on unpaid leave or in certain government roles), ensuring correct documentation is submitted to MOHRE for these exceptions.
