Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Wage Protection System (WPS)?

WPS is the UAE's system for paying wages through approved banks and exchange houses so that payments are recorded with the authorities. Whether and how it applies to you depends on where your company is licensed — we'll confirm for your setup.

What is the difference between managed and self-serve?

With managed payroll our UAE partner runs every pay cycle for you. With self-serve you run payroll yourself using software. Self-serve isn't available yet — we're taking registrations of interest to decide whether to build it.

Can you run payroll for a company you didn't form?

Yes. Tell us where the company is licensed and how many people you pay.
