Frequently asked questions
Does WPS apply to every UAE company and employee?
No. WPS scope depends on the employer jurisdiction and applicable establishment and employee exclusions.
Does BGA transfer wages to employees?
No. We perform payroll calculation, prepare the salary file and coordinate questions; the client and its selected financial institution handle transmission and payment execution.
Does a prepared salary file mean wages have been paid?
No. File preparation is a working step and does not confirm transmission, acceptance or payment execution by a bank.
Which information is needed for payroll calculation?
Client-confirmed information on the payroll period, employee categories, contractual terms, pay items, deductions, adjustments and selected handover process is needed.
Can you guarantee the outcome?
No. The outcome depends on WPS scope, correct inputs, client confirmation and the operation of the selected financial institution.
