Discuss Your Payroll and WPS Requirements
What Do Payroll & WPS Services Mean For UAE Companies?
Payroll and WPS services include the monthly calculation of salaries, generation of payslips, payroll records, and Salary Information File generation and submission to the authorized WPS channel.
GetMyAccounting will verify all the approved payroll data, generate all the required documentation, and detect missing data prior to the finalization of the payroll.
Is Your Payroll Process at the Month End Getting Hard to Manage?
The payroll problem starts even before your salary calculation process. It could be that you receive the attendance data late, your salary adjustments do not tally with your employment file, you do not have complete bank information for all employees, or your deductions were done without proper documentation. All this would mean that you have problems with your salary accuracy, your WPS file creation is delayed, and your management cannot get to know why your payroll expense has increased from last month. GetMyAccounting can help you manage payroll problems such as:
- Payroll data gathered from several departments using spreadsheets
- Late changes on attendance, overtime, or salaries
- Discrepancies between employment and salary data
- Inadequate bank or payroll card information of your employees
- Problems in formatting your Salary Information File
- Delayed review and approval process by management
- Missing payslips, payroll register, or calculations
- Payroll expenses that are not consistent with your accounting system
- Calculation and workings on your leave salary, gratuity, and settlement
Our objective will be to make your payroll process consistent with clear inputs, responsibilities, reviews, and deliveries in each month.
What Services Are Included in Our Payroll & WPS Service UAE?
The range of services we offer to you depends entirely on the size of your company, the frequency with which you need payroll processing, the location where your licenses are kept, and whether WPS and HR processes apply. We can either handle your complete monthly payroll process or just specific things related to it.
Monthly Salary Processing
Employee salaries are calculated based on the approved inputs used in the payroll for the given period. The inputs may include salary, allowances, variable pay, bonuses, commissions, reimbursements, overtime and allowable deductions. The payroll calculations are compared with the employment records and any approved changes before submitting the payroll register for management's approval.
Payslip and Payroll Register
Payslips of individuals can be generated from the approved payroll data. A payroll register will give management a clear picture of gross salary, allowances, deductions, and amounts due to the employees. This is helpful to the employee in terms of communication and at the same time the finance department will have a record of the payroll computation.
Preparation of WPS File
Where WPS applies, we prepare the Salary Information File (SIF) based on the required information on the employee, the establishment, and the salaries. Before providing the file, it will be subjected to checking for any missing information, inconsistency in data or format. WPS file preparation involves:
- Establishment and employer identification information
- Labour or work permit of the employees
- Information of the employee bank account or payroll card
- Salary period and payment information
- Components of fixed and variable salary
- Information on the approved unpaid days or salary adjustment
- Matching of file totals to the approved payroll register
The final salary transfer will then be done through the company's bank, exchange house or authorized WPS agents. GetMyAccounting is not presented as a bank or wage payment agent; our scope involves payroll preparation, file preparation, reconciliations and coordination as agreed.
Leave, Overtime and Deduction Calculation
Leave, overtime and deductions should not be put into payroll without adequate supporting information. Based on the approved attendance reports, leave information, company policy and data provided by the business. In case there are inconsistencies in the information provided, the item may be marked for approval by the management.
Gratuity and Final Settlement Processing
Where an employee is terminated, the final settlement will include salary till the last working day, allowable amounts for leave, etc., and any other deduction and/or benefits payable. End-of-service gratuity calculation and final settlement processing are performed taking into account the terms of the employee's contract, payroll history, service details, and other information provided by the management. Other interpretation of law beyond the agreed accounting scope would need to be referred to the relevant specialist in employment law.
Payroll Accounting and Reconciliation
There must be agreement between payroll accounting entries and company accounting entries. We are able to provide payroll journal entries, salary payables schedule, and other reconciliation entries. Businesses already using our Accounting Services in UAE can connect payroll processing with monthly bookkeeping and financial reporting under an agreed service scope.

How Do Current UAE WPS Requirements Affect Your Payroll Cycle?
The Wage Protection System enables salary payments to be monitored through authorised financial institutions and payment channels. Its purpose is to support timely payment of contractual wages and maintain an electronic record of salary transfers. Recent MOHRE updates have introduced changes to the WPS framework for private-sector establishments. Businesses should refer to the latest MOHRE guidance and their authorised WPS payment channel for applicable requirements. WPS applicability should be reviewed rather than assumed. MOHRE-registered mainland establishments are generally within the federal framework, while some free-zone employers may follow requirements administered by their respective free-zone authority. Employee category, licensing jurisdiction and approved exclusions can affect the correct process.
Which Information Is Needed for the Initiation of Payroll?
Documents and information will depend on the scope of services agreed upon. The following information may be requested during onboarding:
- Valid UAE trade license
- MOHRE establishment card, if applicable
- Employee Master List
- Employment agreements and approved salaries
- Passport details, Emirates ID and work permit information
- Employee's IBAN / Payroll Card information
- Past payroll registers and pay slip
- Attendance, leave and overtime details
- Bonus / commission / reimbursement details approved
- Lawful deductions details / Unpaid leave details
- Joiner and leaver information
- Existing WPS Agent / Bank / exchange house details
- SIF submission details or past WPS submission details
- Chart of accounts or payroll ledgers details, if accounting integration is needed
Only information that relates to the payroll scope shall be collected and communicated.

Why Select GetMyAccounting for Payroll Outsourcing?
Costs of payroll impact bookkeeping, cash flow, and financial reporting. Linking payroll accounting assistance with the finance workflow of the company ensures minimal reconciliation of data at a later stage.
A monthly cut-off period facilitates the control of payroll adjustments made after the cut-off date. The management approval process is preserved prior to making salary file final.
It includes the activities that will be performed by GetMyAccounting, what kind of information will be provided by the customer, and what payment process will be done by the bank or exchange house or WPS agent.
The payroll process will be customized according to the number of employees, salary structure, and payroll frequency, etc.
Employee and salary information is sensitive. Payroll files are handled through defined access, communication and record-management procedures.
Payroll service providers will help reduce unnecessary processing mistakes and make your record ready, but they shouldn't advertise themselves to solve all your issues such as rejection, delays, dispute and compliance actions. Success also depends on accurate client details, approvals, availability of funds and processing through the appropriate payment gateway.
Maintain Links between Payroll, WPS and Accounting Records
Your payroll data could be accepted by the system for salary payment process while your accounting record is still incomplete. Similarly, your accounting records might fail to shed light on individual salary adjustments. Maintenance of links between payroll, WPS and accounting makes it easier for managers to calculate salary expense, analyze monthly variations, identify pending salary payments and keep organized supporting records.
Build a More Controlled Monthly Payroll Cycle
With Payroll & WPS Service UAE from GetMyAccounting, businesses can bring salary calculations, management approval, WPS-ready data, payslips and payroll accounting into one structured monthly process. The engagement begins with a review of your employee count, licensing jurisdiction, existing payroll records and current concerns. Based on that review, we define the responsibilities, monthly cut-off, approval process and deliverables required for your business.
