Payroll is monthly work that tolerates neither delay nor error: any shortfall in an employee’s entitlement turns quickly into a dispute, and any gap in the employment files shows up at the first inspection. We run the full payroll cycle and keep employee files organised well enough to stand up to review.

Payroll and HR services
Monthly payroll, end-of-service entitlements, and employee files in line with UAE labour law.
Who this service is for
For companies whose headcount has grown to the point where manual calculation becomes a source of errors, for companies that want payroll data kept separate from the rest of the staff because of its sensitivity, and for anyone handling several contract types and allowances who needs them controlled in one system.
What the service covers
- Preparing the monthly payroll and calculating allowances and deductions.
- Preparing the Wages Protection System file in the format required for transfer.

Regulatory framework
Employment relationships in the private sector in the United Arab Emirates are governed by the law regulating employment relations and its implementing regulations, including the provisions on wages, leave and end-of-service gratuity, and covered establishments are required to transfer wages through the Wages Protection System. We set the calculation against these provisions and flag any clause in your contracts that needs legal review.
Most end-of-service disputes come from a contract drafted in a hurry, not from a disagreement over the numbers.
Frequently asked questions
Do you handle the Wages Protection System?
Yes. We prepare the transfer file in the required format and reconcile it against the approved payroll before it goes to the bank.
Who has access to payroll data?
A named team only, within a scope agreed with you in writing. The sensitivity of this data is a main reason firms move payroll outside.
Can you calculate end-of-service for historic cases?
Yes. We calculate retrospectively against the contract and the actual period of service, and show the basis for every figure so it can be discussed and documented.
