🇦🇪 Payroll Outsourcing Services — United Arab Emirates
Payroll Outsourcing for Companies Operating in the UAE
If you have employees in the UAE, payroll requires specialist handling of the Wage Protection System (WPS), GPSSA pension contributions for Emirati staff, gratuity (end-of-service) rules, health insurance coordination, and Arabic documentation for government requests. Outsourcing payroll to a UAE-savvy provider reduces compliance risk and frees your HR and finance teams to focus on operations.
Accurate, compliant, and fully managed payroll for companies operating in the UAE. WRKFORC handles salary calculations, WPS disbursements, GPSSA pension for UAE nationals, end-of-service (gratuity) calculations, and Arabic payslips — while you keep full employer control or choose our EOR/PEO models.

We prepare bank files and WPS submissions so salaries reach employees on time and meet MOHRE monitoring requirements.
GPSSA pension handling for UAE nationals

Gratuity & end-of-service accuracy
Correct EOSB (gratuity) calculation is essential at termination or resignation; we compute statutory entitlements precisely and provide final settlement documentation.

Payslips, summary reports, and statutory files provided in Arabic and English for both government use and expatriate management.
