The Wage Protection System (WPS) is mandatory for all private sector mainland employers registered with the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MOHRE). Non-compliance triggers a strict escalation process that can ultimately result in licence suspension.
| Stage | Trigger | Consequence | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 — Warning | Salary delayed more than 10 days | Official MOHRE warning issued | Warning |
| 2 — Permits Blocked | Repeat or extended delay | New work permit applications blocked | Restricted |
| 3 — Financial Penalties | Continued non-compliance | Fines per affected employee | Fines |
| 4 — Licence Suspension | Persistent violation | Trade licence suspended or cancelled | Critical |
Under UAE Labour Law, end-of-service gratuity is based on the employee's basic salary (excluding allowances). The rate varies by length of service. Here is a worked example for an employee earning AED 10,000 basic salary with 7 years of service:
The UAE government's Emiratisation initiative requires private sector companies with 50 or more employees to increase their UAE national headcount by 2% annually across skilled roles. Failure to meet targets carries significant financial penalties.
Companies that fail to meet their Emiratisation quota are fined AED 8,000 per month for each unfulfilled position — that is AED 96,000 per year, per vacant slot. Profitrack's payroll service includes continuous quota monitoring to keep you compliant and penalty-free.
Private sector businesses with 50+ employees on mainland UAE are subject to mandatory Emiratisation targets. Free zone companies operate under separate regulations, though many are now also encouraged to participate in the NAFIS programme voluntarily.
Employers who meet their Emiratisation targets benefit from NAFIS salary support programmes and government incentives. Profitrack helps you register for applicable subsidies while ensuring all documentation meets regulatory requirements.
Beyond core payroll processing, Profitrack offers a suite of complementary services to ensure your workforce management is fully compliant and efficiently managed.
A structured, four-step process that ensures accuracy, compliance, and timely delivery every single month.
We register your business with MOHRE and connect you to a WPS-approved transfer channel for compliant salary disbursements.
We establish a payroll calendar aligned with your pay period, deadlines, and company-specific allowances, bonuses, and deduction structures.
Payslips are generated, SIF files prepared, GPSSA contributions calculated, and gratuity provisions updated — all within deadline.
You receive monthly payroll reports, WPS submission confirmations, and compliance status updates for complete peace of mind.
All private sector employers registered with MOHRE must pay monthly salaries within 10 calendar days of the month's end. For example, January salaries must be transferred and the WPS Salary Information File (SIF) submitted by February 10. Daily workers must be paid within 14 days of completing work. Missing this deadline — even by a single day — initiates MOHRE's non-compliance escalation, starting with an official warning and potentially progressing to licence suspension.
UAE gratuity is calculated on the employee's basic salary (excluding housing, transport, and other allowances). The formula is: 21 days' basic salary per year for the first 5 years, and 30 days' basic salary per year for each subsequent year. Gratuity is prorated for partial years and is capped at a maximum of 2 years' total basic salary. Employees who resign voluntarily with less than 1 year of service forfeit their gratuity entitlement entirely.
Private sector companies with 50 or more employees that fail to meet their annual Emiratisation quota face a penalty of AED 8,000 per month per unfilled UAE national position — equivalent to AED 96,000 per position per year. These fines are collected by the Emirati Talent Competitiveness Council (NAFIS) and are payable monthly. Companies that meet their targets may qualify for salary support incentives through the NAFIS programme.
GPSSA (General Pension and Social Security Authority) contributions are required for all UAE national employees working in the private sector. The contribution rate is 12.5% employer contribution and 5% employee contribution, calculated on the employee's basic salary. Abu Dhabi nationals follow a slightly different ADFSSA scheme. Expatriate employees are not subject to GPSSA contributions but are entitled to end-of-service gratuity under the UAE Labour Law.
From WPS registration to monthly payslips and gratuity provisioning, we ensure your team gets paid accurately and on time, every time.
