Things to be known before carrying out in-house payroll services in UAE

The firm must be aware of the existing wage law in the land i.e. UAE has defined that remuneration provided to the employees must cover their basic needs and help them to survive. So it is mandatory to evaluate whether the paychecks provided are sufficient for the worker's survival if not there may be other consequences like the unsatisfied employees can approach the MoHRE in UAE where they can draft a complaint regarding unpaid and delayed salaries.

The other main aspect that should be highlighted is that the employers registered to MoHRE in UAE should also register themselves with Wages Protection System i.e. the employers should deposit the salaries or wages directly to the bank or financial body which are recognized by the central bank of the UAE. If they don’t do so then the firm will have to pay huge penalties to the UAE govt. In addition to that they may not be allowed to register with any new company, they may not be provided with the work permit, the company will be degraded to the bottom level. 

If a firm appoints more than 50 workers in their firm who are paid less than  AED 2000 per month, the company should provide the worker with appropriate food and accommodation facilities, if they may not provide it then it follows to other massive consequences. If the firm has decided to purchase the employee the new insurance policy i.e. Taa-meen which was approved by the UAE cabinet then the firm, then the amount of insurance must be duly deducted from the salary provided if not then the insurance policy may be nullified.
