All employers registered with Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MoHRE) must subscribe to the ‘Wages Protection System (WPS)’ and pay the wages to their employees through it, as per the due dates.

Under this system, salaries of employees will be transferred to their accounts in banks or financial institutions, which are authorised by Central Bank of the UAE to provide the service.

 MoHRE does not process any transactions or deal with the owners of the companies that are not registered with the WPS until they register in the system. 

Payment can be in Emirati Dirham, the national currency of the UAE or in any other currency, if it is agreed upon between both parties in the employment contract.
