In the UAE most private-sector salaries must be paid through the Wage Protection System (WPS), on time and as stated in the employment contract. Late or incorrect WPS payments can lead to fines and to work permit restrictions for the company. SJPR runs your payroll every month and keeps the records that Corporate Tax and audits rely on.
What we handle

- End-of-service gratuity accrued every month and calculated on exit.

Connected to the rest of your finance
Payroll is usually the largest cost of a service business. With SJPR it flows straight into your management accounts, your cash-flow forecast and your Corporate Tax computation — and every payslip stays in SJPR BiX.
Frequently asked questions
Do free zone companies have to use WPS?
It depends on the free zone and its labour rules. Many free zones have their own salary protection requirements. We check what applies to your licence.
How is end-of-service gratuity calculated?
Under the UAE Labour Law it is based on basic salary and years of service. We calculate it on exit and accrue it every month, so it never surprises your cash flow.
Can you pay salaries for us?
We prepare the payroll and the WPS file; payment is released from your bank or exchange house. Many clients approve the payroll in SJPR BiX and release payment the same day.
