What the Wage Protection System requires
WPS is run by the Central Bank of the UAE with MOHRE, and it is compulsory for all private-sector companies registered with MOHRE.
The SIF file
A fixed-width text file in the MOHRE format — one row per employee per pay period, with pay, allowances, deductions and IBAN.
Submission via a WPS agent
The SIF goes to a bank, exchange house or authorised fintech registered with the Central Bank of the UAE.
At least 80% of the wage
Paid amounts must match the MOHRE labour contract, with each employee receiving at least 80% of their contractual wage.
Deadlines & penalties
Late wages trigger penalties and, if unresolved, suspension of new work permits — so accuracy and timing matter.

UAE WPS payroll FAQs
What is a SIF in the UAE Wage Protection System?
The Salary Information File (SIF) is the core WPS document — a fixed-width text file in the MOHRE-defined format, with one row per employee per pay period covering basic pay, allowances, deductions and IBAN details.
Does Odoo generate the WPS SIF file?
Yes. We configure Odoo Payroll to produce the SIF in the exact MOHRE format from your salary structures, ready to hand to your WPS agent each cycle — no spreadsheets or re-keying.
Who submits the SIF?
You submit the SIF to a WPS agent — a commercial bank, exchange house or authorised fintech registered with the Central Bank of the UAE. MOHRE and the Central Bank then verify it against your labour contracts.
What happens if WPS payroll is late?
Employers are flagged late if wages are not paid within the required window; persistent delays (around 17 days) can lead to suspension of new work-permit issuance, so reliable, on-time SIF generation matters.
Does it handle gratuity and UAE leave rules?
Yes. Alongside the SIF we configure end-of-service gratuity under UAE Labour Law, leave entitlements (annual, sick, public holidays), visa/passport expiry tracking and multi-nationality salary structures.
