Every Payroll Mistake Costs More Than You Think

Payroll errors don't just frustrate employees, they expose businesses to serious financial and legal consequences. Late salary payments trigger penalties of up to AED 5,000 per employee under UAE labor law. Miscalculated end-of-service benefits, incorrect tax withholdings, or non-compliance with the Wage Protection System (WPS) can result in fines, work permit suspensions, and damaged employee trust. The solution? outsourcing payroll to professionals.

About Payroll Compliance in Dubai

The UAE mandates strict payroll and labor compliance to protect employees. Compliance is a legal requirement, regardless of company size, directly affecting your business's reputation and operations.

iconWage Protection System (WPS) Compliance
Our payroll outsourcing services in Dubai guarantee compliance with the UAE's mandatory WPS (Wage Protection System). We ensure timely, accurate electronic salary processing, including WPS submissions, salary file generation, bank transfers, and preventing labor law violations.
iconUAE Labor Law Requirements
We ensure payroll compliance with Federal Decree-Law No. 33 of 2021, accurately managing overtime, gratuity, annual leave, and statutory deductions. This protects you from disputes and penalties.
iconEnd-of-Service Benefit Calculations
UAE labor law requires end-of-service gratuity based on service length and final salary, with calculations varying by duration and contract type. Our payroll outsourcing services accurately provision gratuity, ensuring correct calculations and financial preparedness for departures.
iconCorporate Tax Implications
Our payroll outsourcing services ensure tax compliance under Federal Decree-Law No. 47 of 2022 by accurately documenting and classifying payroll expenses, including salaries, benefits, and employer contributions, for proper corporate tax deductions

              Ask Your Question
              Image
              What is payroll outsourcing and how does it work?
              Payroll outsourcing means hiring an external provider to manage your complete payroll operations. The provider handles salary calculations, WPS submissions, gratuity tracking, tax documentation, and regulatory compliance while you simply provide employee data and approve payments. This arrangement eliminates the need for in-house payroll staff and systems while ensuring expert management of this critical business function.
              How much do payroll outsourcing services cost in Dubai?
              Payroll outsourcing costs in Dubai typically range from AED 50 to AED 200 per employee per month, depending on company size, payroll complexity, and service scope. Many payroll outsourcing companies in UAE offer tiered packages starting around AED 2,000 monthly for small businesses with 10-20 employees. This investment is considerably less than maintaining dedicated payroll staff and systems internally.
              Is outsourcing payroll safe and secure?
              Reputable payroll outsourcing providers implement enterprise-grade security measures including encrypted data transmission, secure cloud storage, multi-factor authentication, and strict access controls. Professional providers maintain ISO certifications and undergo regular security audits. Your employee data is typically more secure with specialized providers than on local business servers with limited security infrastructure.
              Can you handle payroll for employees in different UAE emirates and free zones?
              Yes, professional payroll processing outsourcing services manage payroll across all UAE emirates and free zones, including Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, mainland, and various free zone jurisdictions. Each location may have specific banking requirements or regulatory nuances, which specialized providers handle seamlessly while maintaining centralized reporting and control.
              How quickly can you take over our existing payroll?
              Most payroll outsourcing providers can transition your payroll within 2-4 weeks. This includes data migration from your current system, WPS setup with your designated banks, employee information verification, and parallel processing to ensure accuracy before going live. If you have urgent deadlines, expedited onboarding can often be arranged.
              What happens if there's a payroll error?
              Professional payroll companies guarantee accuracy and take full responsibility for correcting any processing errors at no additional cost. This includes issuing corrected payments to affected employees, submitting amended WPS files, and handling any resulting compliance issues. Most providers maintain professional indemnity insurance to cover their liability for errors.
              Do you integrate with our existing HR and accounting systems?
              Yes, modern payroll outsourcing services integrate with most major HR, time attendance, and accounting platforms including Odoo, SAP, Oracle, Zoho, QuickBooks, and others. These integrations eliminate duplicate data entry, ensure real-time accuracy, and create seamless workflows between your HR, payroll, and finance functions.
