Frequently Asked Questions About WPS and Labour Compliance in Dubai, UAE

What is the UAE Wage Protection System (WPS)? +
The UAE Wage Protection System (WPS) is a mandatory electronic salary transfer system established by MOHRE that requires all private sector employers to pay employee salaries through approved financial institutions using a standardised Salary Information File (SIF). WPS was introduced to protect employees from delayed or withheld wages and ensure full transparency in salary payments across the UAE private sector.
What are the penalties for WPS non-compliance? +
WPS non-compliance — including late salary payments, incorrect SIF files, or failure to pay through an approved WPS agent — can result in immediate fines starting from AED 1,000 per employee, a block on new work permit applications, suspension of your MOHRE account, and in serious cases, business closure. Penalties escalate with repeat violations.
When must salaries be paid under UAE labour law? +
Under UAE Federal Decree-Law No. 33 of 2021, monthly-paid employees must receive their salaries within 10 days of the due date specified in their employment contract. Daily, weekly, or fortnightly paid workers have shorter payment windows. We process your payroll to ensure all employees are paid within the mandatory timeframe every month.
How is overtime calculated under UAE labour law? +
Under UAE Federal Decree-Law No. 33 of 2021, overtime is paid at a minimum of 125% of the regular hourly rate for hours worked beyond the standard 8-hour day or 48-hour week. Work performed between 10pm and 4am is paid at 150%, and work on public holidays or the weekly rest day is also paid at 150%. We calculate all overtime accurately in accordance with these requirements.
What is a SIF file and why is it important? +
A Salary Information File (SIF) is a standardised electronic file that contains all the payroll data required by the WPS system — including employee details, salary amounts, and bank account information. The SIF file must be submitted to an approved WPS agent for every pay cycle. An incorrectly formatted or incomplete SIF file will be rejected — causing salary payment delays and potential MOHRE penalties.
Do free zone companies need to comply with WPS? +
WPS compliance requirements vary by free zone — some free zones operate their own payroll protection systems, while others require compliance with the mainland MOHRE WPS system. We advise on the specific WPS requirements applicable to your free zone and ensure your payroll process meets the relevant authority's requirements.
