UAE payroll has obligations Indian payroll does not: salaries paid through the Wage Protection System, end-of-service gratuity accruing from day one, and a workforce whose right to work expires on a date somebody has to remember.

|---|---|
| Basic salary | 184,000.00 |
| Housing & transport allowance | 96,400.00 |

| Deductions — advances | -8,200.00 |
| Gratuity accrued this month | 15,333.33 |
The salary run produces the figures and the employee records a WPS file needs, so the bank submission is a step rather than a re-entry exercise.
End-of-service benefit accrued as it is earned rather than discovered as a liability when somebody resigns.
Annual leave balances and ticket entitlements tracked per employee alongside the salary.
Visa, Emirates ID and labour card expiry, ahead of time, because a lapsed document stops somebody working and the fine is yours.
Salaries in AED with the cost landing in whichever company’s books it belongs to, across a group.
Gross to expense, gratuity to provision, deductions to their accounts and net to payable, balanced, without anybody typing it.
The salary run produces the figures and employee details the submission requires, so preparing the bank’s WPS file is a step rather than re-entering a payroll. Exact file formats vary by bank, so confirm yours during onboarding.
Accrued monthly as it is earned and posted to a provision account, so the liability is on the balance sheet throughout rather than appearing as a shock when somebody leaves after four years.
Yes. Employee documents carry expiry dates and raise reminders ahead of time — which in the UAE matters more than almost any other payroll feature, because the consequence is somebody being unable to work.
Yes, as one balanced journal: gross to salary expense, gratuity to provision, each deduction to its own account and the net to salary payable. Nobody types it.
Start free, load your employees with their visa dates, and watch the salary journal and the gratuity provision post themselves.
