A Quick Guide to Payroll Accounting

Payroll accounting is managing all financial records related to employee compensation. This includes not only salaries and wages but also overtime pay bonuses, commissions, allowances, and deductions such as penalties or unpaid leaves. In the UAE, it also includes the calculation of gratuity end-of-service benefits and compliance with legal requirements under the Labour Law.

A well managed payroll system ensures that employees are paid accurately, on time, and in a transparent manner. It also helps the company maintain proper records, avoid legal penalties, and build trust with staff. At Setupzo, we handle all these responsibilities for you, professionally and efficiently.

Wage Protection System (WPS)

The Wage Protection System (WPS) is a salary transfer system introduced by the UAE government to ensure fair and timely payment to employees. Under WPS, salaries must be processed through approved banks and exchange houses and companies must submit their payroll files in a specific format every month.

Non-compliance can result in serious fines, license suspension, and even company bans. Thats why it’s crucial to have a payroll service provider who understands WPS in depth. At Setupzo, we prepare and submit your WPS files accurately, help you avoid compliance risks, and keep your business running without interruptions.
