Frequently Asked Questions
The Wage Protection System (WPS) is an electronic salary transfer system that allows MOHRE to monitor salary payments in the private sector to ensure employees are paid correctly and on time.
Domestic workers, workers in some specific free zones (like DIFC/ADGM which have their own rules), and offshore companies are generally exempt from the standard MOHRE WPS.
Only up to 10% can be missing (due to deductions or unpaid leave) without triggering a block. For anything more, you should have proof of unpaid leave or disciplinary action ready if MOHRE requests it.
