Definition & Nature of Service

What is Payroll & WPS Compliance?

A specialized payroll management service handling salary computations, deductions, allowances, WPS SIF file generation, and end-of-service settlements.

Who This Is Designed For:

✓ Mainland companies with 1 to 500+ employees mandated under MOHRE WPS✓ Free Zone entities participating in zone WPS programs (JAFZA, DMCC)✓ Organizations wanting strict confidentiality regarding internal executive salaries
UAE Regulatory Context & Mandates

Why is this critical in the UAE?

Failure to comply with WPS deadlines results in severe MOHRE fines, company file suspension, and work permit freezes.

The Cost of Non-Compliance in Dubai

Failing to meet FTA, MOHRE, or licensing authority guidelines leads to hefty administrative fines, frozen bank facilities, and operational delays. AS Global ensures total peace of mind.
