United Arab Emirates
UAE Payroll Software with WPS & Gratuity Built In
Stay compliant with the Wage Protection System and calculate end-of-service gratuity correctly, every time.
WPS-compliant salary payments
The Wage Protection System is the UAE's mandatory electronic salary-transfer framework — employers registered with MOHRE must pay wages through approved banks or exchange houses, generating a verifiable payment record. Missing or late WPS runs can trigger fines and blocks on new work permits. Hirepay structures payroll runs to produce the data your WPS transfer needs.
End-of-service gratuity, calculated correctly
Under Federal Decree-Law No. 33 of 2021, gratuity is calculated on basic salary only: 21 days' pay per year for the first 5 years of service, and 30 days' pay per year for each year beyond that, capped at 24 months' pay. It becomes payable after one full year of continuous service. Hirepay calculates this automatically as part of end-of-service processing.
MOHRE compliance
Hirepay is built around the same salary and contract data MOHRE compliance depends on, reducing the manual work of keeping payroll records audit-ready.
