Each month's payroll
What every pay run covers — Payroll Outsourcing in Dubai
Variable-input collection
Overtime, unpaid leave, commissions, and one-off deductions are gathered against a monthly cut-off so each payslip reflects what actually happened that period.
Gross-to-net calculation
Basic pay, allowances, and deductions are computed for every employee, producing the exact net figure that lands in each account.
WPS salary-file generation
The Wage Protection System file is built in the bank-ready format and submitted so transferred amounts match registered contracts and clear without rejection.
Payslip issuance
Itemised payslips are produced and made available to staff each cycle, giving them a clear breakdown of earnings and deductions.
Gratuity and final-settlement runs
For leavers we calculate end-of-service entitlement, accrued leave, and any clawback so the final payment is correct and documented.
Management payroll reporting
A monthly cost summary by department or cost centre is delivered so finance can post payroll and forecast its largest recurring expense.
From cut-off to WPS
Inside the monthly payroll cycle
Payroll is a deadline-driven routine where the same gates repeat every month, so accuracy comes from a disciplined sequence rather than last-minute effort.
01
Cut-off and input capture
By an agreed date each month we collect attendance, leave, and any variable changes that affect this run.
02
Calculation and internal check
Net pay is computed and run through a second-pair-of-eyes review to catch outliers before anything leaves the system.
03
Approval routing
A draft register goes to your authorised approver for sign-off, so the final numbers are confirmed by you before payment.
04
WPS submission
The approved salary file is lodged with the bank in WPS format on schedule, keeping the company compliant with mandated transfer rules.
05
Payslip and report release
Employees receive payslips and management receives the cost report once the transfer is confirmed.
06
Reconciliation and archive
The run is reconciled to the bank and the records are archived for audit, closing the cycle cleanly before the next one opens.
Inputs we need
What feeds the payroll engine
Salary structures
Each employee's basic, housing, transport, and other allowance split is loaded so calculations follow the agreed breakdown.
Bank and IBAN details
Verified account information for every employee ensures the WPS transfer reaches the right beneficiary first time.
Attendance and leave inputs
Timesheets, overtime hours, and leave taken are supplied each cycle as the variable basis for that month's pay.
Visa and Emirates ID copies
Valid identity documents are held because the WPS register ties each salary transfer to a recognised employee record.
Deduction and benefit instructions
Loan repayments, insurance shares, or bonus authorisations are recorded so recurring and one-off adjustments apply correctly.
Joiner and leaver notifications
Prompt notice of new hires and exits lets us prorate first-month pay and prepare final settlements without a scramble.
Rhythm and pricing
Cadence, pricing, and what disrupts a run
How the cycle is timed
Each month follows the same clock from input cut-off to WPS submission, so payroll lands on a fixed pay date the workforce can rely on.
- Input cut-off and calculation
- Approval and WPS submission
- Payslip release and reconciliation
What the fee depends on
Payroll is usually priced per payslip per cycle, so the figure follows your headcount, how often you run pay, and how complex your allowance and deduction structures are.
- Number of payslips per run
- Run frequency
- Complexity of pay structures
What disrupts a clean run
Cycles slip when variable inputs arrive after cut-off, when bank details are stale, or when a WPS-contract mismatch holds the transfer at the bank.
- Late variable inputs
- Outdated bank or IBAN details
- WPS-to-contract mismatches
What we take on
Where our payroll service reaches
Confidentiality of pay data
Salary information sits with an external team under controlled access, so individual pay is not visible to colleagues inside the company.
Mainland and free-zone transfer rules
We apply MOHRE WPS requirements to mainland staff and the relevant authority's salary-transfer rules to free-zone employees within the same run.
Audit-ready trail
Every run leaves a reconciled, archived record so an auditor or the bank can trace any payment back to its approval.
Scaling with headcount
Whether you run ten payslips or several hundred, the cycle holds its accuracy and its pay date as the team grows.
