RemotePass now supports Global Payroll for Direct Employees, starting with United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Saudi Arabia (KSA). This allows clients to manage payroll for local employees directly from the platform.

While payroll calculations (Gross-to-Net and statutory contributions) are fully automated, salary and contributions payments must currently be processed outside RemotePass.

Payment capabilities are available to UAE only not using of the Global Payroll feature - Learn more.

UAE & KSA are the current countries available with Global Payroll. More will be added soon.

Global Payroll Page

You’ll find a new “Payroll” icon in your sidebar navigation. This is where you manage payroll by entity (e.g., KSA), with two main views:

Regular Cycles: Shows regular monthly payroll status
Off-Cycle Periods: Shows payroll that is processed outside of the regular cycle.

Clicking on an entity opens detailed payroll calculations, employee breakdowns, and actions.

🏢 Step 1: Add Your Entity and Employees
