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. For MoHRE-supervised establishments, Ministerial Resolution No. (0340) of 2026 applies from 1 June 2026 and replaced Resolution No. 598 of 2022.
Which deadlines and measures apply from 1 June 2026?
Wages for the previous Gregorian month fall due no later than the first day of the following month, and an establishment is treated as compliant once at least 85% of total wages is transferred by that date. Late payment triggers phased measures: notifications from day 2, suspension of new work permits from day 5, and from day 11 an administrative fine under Cabinet Decision No. 21 of 2020 plus a category downgrade; the day 16 and day 21 measures apply only above defined headcount thresholds. The familiar fifteen-day reference belongs to the repealed resolution.
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.
Can you guarantee the outcome?
No. The outcome depends on WPS scope, correct inputs, client confirmation and the operation of the selected financial institution.
