FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is required to use the Wage Protection System (WPS) in the UAE?
WPS is mandatory for all private-sector companies registered with the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MOHRE), as well as companies in the Jebel Ali Free Zone (JAFZA). Other Free Zones are progressively adopting WPS or similar mandatory salary transfer frameworks.
What are the penalties for non-compliance with WPS?
Failure to pay salaries through WPS on time can result in severe consequences, including fines ranging from AED 5,000 to AED 50,000 per employee, suspension of the company's ability to issue new work permits, and potential legal action from MOHRE.
What is the DEWS scheme for DIFC companies?
The DIFC Employee Workplace Savings (DEWS) scheme replaced the traditional end-of-service gratuity system in the DIFC. Employers must contribute a mandatory percentage of an employee's basic salary (5.83% for less than 5 years of service, 8.33% for 5+ years) into a professionally managed savings plan.
Is payroll information kept confidential when outsourcing to Delphi?
Absolutely. We employ strict data security protocols, secure file transfer systems, and stringent non-disclosure agreements. Access to your payroll data is restricted only to the dedicated specialists handling your account.
Can Delphi handle payroll for companies with a mix of Mainland and Free Zone employees?
Yes, we frequently manage complex payroll structures for group companies. We ensure that Mainland employees are processed through WPS, while Free Zone employees adhere to their specific authority's regulations, consolidating reporting for your finance team.
