If you employ Direct Employees in the UAE under a WPS-required jurisdiction, here’s how to process payroll:

Salary & recurring payments (WPS)
These payments (salary, recurring allowances, contributions) are submitted in bulk so all employees share the same payment date.

  1. Go to Upcoming Payments or Payments Due.

  2. Select the relevant WPS entity.

  3. Submit payments.

Important: WPS payments require an additional 3–4 business days for compliance processing. Plan submissions accordingly to meet your intended payout date.


Other payments (Adjustments & Expense reimbursements)

  • These can be paid individually at any time from each employee’s Contract → Payments page.
