Accounting & Advisory Services
Exiloz runs monthly payroll for UAE employers: salary calculation, WPS file preparation and submission coordination, leave and end-of-service records, and payroll reports that tie back to your accounts.
Dubai-based accounting, tax, and compliance support for UAE businesses.
UAE employers registered with MOHRE must pay salaries through the Wage Protection System, and 2026 rules expect wages out from the 1st of the following month with at least 85% of staff and wages covered. Organized payroll is how you stay ahead of that.
Each cycle starts with the inputs: attendance, overtime, commissions, deductions, new joiners, and leavers. Exiloz turns those into a gross-to-net calculation per employee, checked against the MOHRE-registered contract salary so the amount paid never drifts from the amount registered. Management receives a clear payroll summary to approve before anything moves — total cost, variances against last month, and anything unusual flagged. After approval we produce payslips and the payroll journal, so the wages expense in your accounts always matches what employees actually received.
The Wage Protection System checks every salary transfer against the employee’s registered labour contract, so the Salary Information File (SIF) has to be right: correct personal numbers, agent and account details, salary period, and fixed versus variable pay. Exiloz prepares the WPS file each month, coordinates the submission with your bank or exchange house, and confirms the run went through cleanly. If a transfer bounces or an employee is flagged, we trace why — wrong IBAN, contract mismatch, missing renewal — and fix the cause before the next cycle.
Payroll is more than the monthly transfer. UAE labour law creates liabilities that build up quietly — annual leave balances, end-of-service gratuity, notice entitlements — and businesses that never schedule them get surprised at resignation time or at audit. Exiloz maintains leave registers and end-of-service accrual schedules based on basic salary and years of service, so the liability on your balance sheet is real. When someone exits, we prepare the full final settlement: gratuity, unused leave, notice period, and any deductions, documented so both sides can sign off without dispute.
MOHRE’s 2026 enforcement is automatic: the system sees late, partial, or missing wages without waiting for a complaint, and consequences escalate from reminders to work-permit blocks and fines. The defence is a calendar, not luck. Exiloz keeps your payroll cycle on a fixed monthly rhythm — inputs, approval, WPS run, filing — and layers the related obligations on top: Emiratisation targets where they apply, pension contributions for eligible staff, and the payroll evidence your auditor and corporate tax file will ask for. Management gets a monthly payroll report that says what was paid, to whom, and that the run cleared.
WPS used to be a system you could fall behind on quietly; enforcement mostly waited for an employee complaint. That era is over. MOHRE now reads WPS data live, company by company, and the 2026 framework moves to a day-by-day escalation ladder: wages are expected out from the 1st of the following month, and a company must keep its salary payments covering at least 85% of registered employees and wages to stay in good standing.
Falling short is expensive in ways beyond the fine itself: new work permits stop being issued, licence-linked services stall, and repeat shortfalls move the file toward inspection. For most SMEs the failure is rarely deliberate — it is a cash-flow squeeze plus a payroll process with no calendar. A disciplined cycle with early approval, a clean SIF, and immediate tracing of rejected transfers is what keeps the record green.
Any UAE employer with MOHRE-registered staff must pay salaries through the Wage Protection System. Payroll support is most useful for companies without a dedicated payroll officer, businesses that have received WPS warnings, and growing teams where leave, gratuity, and salary records need to be organized properly.
WPS is mandatory for companies registered with MOHRE. Some categories and free zones operate their own wage systems, so the exact obligation depends on where the company is licensed and where its employees are registered.
From 2026, MOHRE enforcement expects wages to be paid from the 1st of the following month, with escalating consequences starting within days of a missed run, and companies must keep salary payments covering at least 85% of registered staff and wages. Enforcement is automatic through WPS data rather than complaint-driven.
The Salary Information File (SIF) maps every employee to their MOHRE labour contract: personal number, agent and account details, salary period, fixed and variable pay, and days worked. The file must match registered contract salaries, or the run is flagged.
Yes. We work with common UAE accounting and payroll software, and we can also run a clean spreadsheet-based payroll for smaller teams, then post the monthly payroll journal into your accounting system so the books stay tied to what was actually paid.
Yes. We maintain end-of-service accrual schedules based on basic salary and service years, and prepare final settlement calculations covering gratuity, leave balance, notice, and other dues when an employee exits.
MOHRE’s system detects late, partial, or missing salary transfers automatically. Consequences escalate from reminders to blocks on new work permits and fines. If you have already received a warning, organizing the next runs correctly and clearing arrears quickly is the practical priority.
No. Exiloz does not guarantee government outcomes, penalty waivers, or approvals. We help employers run compliant payroll cycles, keep evidence organized, and follow the correct workflow with MOHRE-facing channels.
Each month we collect attendance and variable inputs, calculate gross-to-net pay, share a payroll summary for management approval, prepare the WPS file for your bank or exchange house, and file the payslips, journal, and evidence after the run.
Contact Exiloz through the consultation form, phone, or WhatsApp. We will review your headcount, current payroll records, and WPS status, then propose a monthly cycle that fits your team.
Share your headcount and current payroll setup with Exiloz and we will propose a clean monthly cycle covering salaries, WPS runs, and the records behind them.
