Solutions · United Arab Emirates
Run compliant Emirati payroll from day one. Generate WPS SIF files for the MOHRE, capture Emirates ID and IBAN details safely, calculate end-of-service benefits per Federal Decree Law No. 33 of 2021, and give employees an Arabic experience — all in one platform with hosting options that keep data close to home.
Why United Arab Emirates
UAE payroll teams juggle WPS deadlines, EOSB calculations and Arabic communications on top of everything else. WorkMind absorbs that complexity: statutory outputs are generated, Emirates IDs are validated, and Arabic-speaking employees get an app that reads the right way — while HR keeps a single system of record across every emirate.
Built-in for United Arab Emirates
Not a bolt-on. Not a spreadsheet on the side. Country capabilities live inside the same payroll, HR and self-service that runs everything else.
Produce Wage Protection System SIF exports in the format the Ministry of Human Resources & Emiratisation (MOHRE) and UAE banks require, with every employee validated before the file is written. Late-payment thresholds and re-generation are handled from the payroll run.
Emirates ID numbers (784-YYYY-XXXXXXX-X) and UAE IBANs are validated on entry — no more failed WPS runs because a digit was wrong. Sensitive IDs are encrypted at rest and exposed only to roles that need them.
EOSB is calculated automatically per Federal Decree Law No. 33 of 2021 — 21 days of basic wage for the first five years of service and 30 days thereafter, prorated for partial years, with settings for cause of termination and unlimited-contract rules.
Annual leave, sick, Hajj, maternity, paternity and public-holiday policies pre-configured to UAE labour law — with accruals, carry-over and eligibility rules that reflect years of service and employment status.
Every employee-facing screen — payslip, leave request, timesheet, self-service — is available in Arabic with proper right-to-left layout. Employees pick their language once; managers can operate in English while their team works in Arabic.
Choose hosting in the GCC region so employee data stays close to home — with the same audit logs, encryption, and role-based controls that back the rest of the platform. Deployment topology adapts to your data-residency policy without splitting the product.
How it fits your month
New joiners are added with Emirates ID, passport and IBAN details — each validated on save, encrypted at rest, and surfaced in Arabic or English for the employee.
Attendance from biometric devices and mobile check-ins, plus UAE-labour-law leave, flow into the current payroll cycle — nothing to reconcile manually.
Close the cycle, review validations, and export the WPS SIF file for MOHRE and your UAE bank in one action. Payslips land in the employee app, in Arabic or English.
When someone leaves, EOSB, unused leave and final settlement are calculated to the day — with a full paper trail for audit.

EOSB is calculated per Federal Decree Law No. 33 of 2021: 21 days of basic wage for each of the first five years of continuous service and 30 days thereafter, prorated for partial years. Cause-of-termination and unlimited-contract rules are configurable, and estimates are visible to employees in self-service.
