Payroll Services in the UAE

Run compliant payroll in any one of the UAE's seven emirates with our payroll services in the UAE

Despite lucrative tax laws and a business friendly environment, running payroll in the UAE can still be an intricate affair. Our payroll services in the UAE helps you to navigate these intricacies, ensuring you are fully compliant with local regulations and running efficient payroll processes.

Running Payroll in the UAE

The United Arab Emirates' 45 Free Zones and their associated lucrative businesses environments, tax and import regulations make the UAE an attractive place to expand your business. However, the UAE's Wage Protection System (WPS) introduced in 2009 necessitates the use of a well-documented payroll process. This is in addition to the usual international payroll requirements such as tax and processing multi-currency payments in different time zones.

Registering for the Wages Protection System (WPS), combined with the usual creation of payslips and running efficient payroll takes a significant amount of time, money and resources. However, by using Leap29 as your payroll provider in the UAE you can focus on your business expansion while we take the planning and rollout of payroll away from you.

The WPS is an electronic salary transfer system that stipulates that companies must pay wages via banks and financial institutions approved by the Central Bank. This system is regulated by the Ministry of Labour to ensure the timely and accurate payment of wages. Therefore, non-compliance can hold quite hefty punishments such as fines and the inability to obtain future work permits.

The planning and resource taken to comply with the WPS can be significant. By using our PEO and payroll services in the UAE, we can remove employer liability from you whilst ensuring full compliance with the WPS and employment regulations in any of the UAE's seven emirates.

Tasks we can complete also include:

Calculating salaries
Creating monthly or weekly payslips
Calculating tax free allowances and progressive tax rates
Submitting tax returns
Filing annual wage reports
Managing expenses and employee benefits
Complying with immigration, tax and insurance laws
Processing multi-currency payments with minimum administration

As with all of our UAE PEO Services, we can tailor payroll solutions to your individual requirements, from paying one employee to a whole workforce.
