Salaries Paid Right, Every Month

Mainland employers registered with the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation must pay salaries through the Wage Protection System (WPS), using an approved bank or exchange house. Late or missing WPS payments can lead to penalties and restrictions on the company.

Payroll is simple until it isn’t: new joiners mid-month, unpaid leave, overtime, deductions, final settlements and gratuity. We run your payroll each month, prepare the WPS salary file, issue payslips and keep the records you need for labour and audit purposes.

What Clients Say

Feedback from founders who set up with TMFS.

Vipul TibrewalMarketing Manager, PSP Marketing

I've worked with several financial firms, but TMFS stands out with their attention to detail and commitment to understanding my unique needs. Their professional team has guided me every step of the way, and I couldn't be happier with the results.

I came to TMFS with a business idea and very little idea of how UAE setup worked. They recommended the right free zone for my activity, handled the licence paperwork, and had my company registered within a week. What impressed me most was the banking. They prepared my bank application alongside the licence, so my business account was opened soon after instead of dragging on for months. One team, one point of contact, and no surprises on cost.

RM
Rahul MenonFounder, E-commerce Start-up

Keeping up with VAT and the new Corporate Tax rules was taking time away from running the business. TMFS took over our bookkeeping, registered us for Corporate Tax and now files our VAT returns every quarter, always ahead of the deadline. Their team explains what is due and why in plain language, and our accounts are finally clean and audit-ready. It is one less thing I have to worry about.

Sarah WhitfieldDirector, Trading Company

TMFS handled my investor visa and then my wife's and children's family visas, and the whole process was far smoother than I expected. They told us exactly which documents we needed, booked the medicals and Emirates ID appointments, and kept us updated at every step. When we later hired our first two employees, they processed those visas just as quickly. I'd trust them with any visa matter.

Payroll & WPS: Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about payroll in the UAE.

What is WPS?
The Wage Protection System is the UAE’s electronic salary transfer system. Mainland employers registered with MOHRE must pay salaries through it using an approved bank or exchange house.
Do free zone companies use WPS?
Rules vary by free zone. Some require WPS or a similar system; others have their own requirements. We confirm what applies to you.
How is end-of-service gratuity calculated?
Under UAE labour law, gratuity is based on basic salary and length of service, typically 21 days’ basic pay per year for the first five years and 30 days per year after that, subject to a cap.
Do you handle final settlements?
Yes. We calculate final pay, leave balance, notice and gratuity when an employee leaves.
Is our salary data kept confidential?
Yes. Payroll data is restricted to the people working on your payroll.
