Frequently Asked Questions — UAE WPS Payroll
What is the UAE WPS (Wage Protection System)?
The UAE Wage Protection System (WPS) is a mandatory electronic salary transfer scheme regulated by the UAE Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MOHRE). It requires all private sector employers to pay wages via approved banks using a standardised SIF (Salary Information File) format. Non-compliance can result in fines and work permit suspension.
How does Kaza generate the UAE WPS SIF bank file?
Kaza's payroll engine compiles each coach's monthly earnings — base salary, session-based pay, commissions, and deductions — into a WPS SIF file. UAE banks take WPS salary files as SIF, a CSV-style format. The file is downloadable and ready to upload to your bank's WPS portal at month-end.
Can Kaza handle late deductions for coaches who arrive late to sessions?
Yes. Kaza's geofenced coach attendance PWA records the exact check-in timestamp vs. session start time. Coaches who check in late automatically have a pro-rated deduction applied to their WPS payroll for that pay period, all without manual calculation.
Does Kaza support freelance and commission-based coach payroll?
Yes. Kaza supports three coach pay structures: fixed monthly salary, per-session freelance rates, and hybrid commission models (e.g., 10% on private lessons above an AED threshold). All structures feed into the same WPS SIF file output.
Is Kaza's WPS payroll compliant with UAE MOHRE requirements?
Kaza generates payroll data in the SIF format specified by MOHRE for WPS compliance. Academy owners are responsible for submitting the file via their bank's WPS upload system. Kaza handles all the computation and file generation, eliminating manual spreadsheet work.
