01The UAE challenge

A WPS miss shouldn't be something you find out about later.

In the UAE, every salary has to move through the Wage Protection System, gratuity has to be right, and a late or non-compliant transfer can hold up new work permits. The worry isn't whether payroll runs. It's whether you can prove it was right.

So we validate the SIF file before it goes to MOHRE, not after. Bank routing, establishment IDs and every salary line are checked against contract, and anything that needs a human decision is routed to you rather than pushed through.

You get the clean transfer and the record behind it: what was paid, when it cleared, and the one item we held for your call. Nothing about the run is a mystery you have to reconstruct at audit time.

WPS, done to the letterEvery salary flows through the Wage Protection System with a correctly formatted SIF file, validated before submission so it clears the first time.
Mainland and free zones, one set of booksMOHRE, DIFC, DMCC and JAFZA each carry their own rules. We run them as one clean, reconciled set of books, not several disconnected ones.
End-of-service gratuity, always fundedGratuity accrues under the labour law as your people stay, or through DIFC's DEWS scheme, so the liability is booked as it builds, never discovered at exit.
VAT and 9% Corporate Tax, on a calendarReturns filed correctly and on time with the working shown, so the FTA position is defensible and the deadline is never a scramble.
Emiratisation, met by planTargets rise for private-sector employers each year. We track your ratio against headcount so it's reached on a plan, not surfaced as a monthly penalty.
Many entities, one clear viewConsolidate payroll, cost and headcount across every licence and location, so leadership sees the whole UAE picture without stitching spreadsheets.

02What we run

Four things off your desk, on one platform.

Most providers sell you software and leave you to run it. We run the work: payroll, HR, payables and leases, connected so the numbers reconcile instead of drifting apart in four systems.

MyPay & iVAP by MYND

HR your people actually use

The full employee lifecycle, built for UAE labour law, from onboarding to offboarding on a mobile-first platform your team logs into without being asked twice.

  • Visa & labour-card tracking
  • Emiratisation compliance dashboard
  • Employee self-service portal
  • Leave & attendance automation
MYNDAPX

Accounts payable, 80% touchless

AI-assisted invoice processing that captures documents, validates VAT, matches POs and posts to your ERP, with our team owning the exceptions that need a decision.

  • AI data extraction (OCR + ML)
  • UAE VAT compliance validation
  • 2-way & 3-way PO matching
  • Ready for UAE e-invoicing as it phases in
MYNDLeaseX

Lease & rental management

Centralised lease lifecycle for retail chains, hospitality groups and healthcare networks, with renewals, rent and IFRS 16 in one place instead of a shared drive.

No silos between finance and HR. When payroll runs, the cost hits the ledger; when an invoice clears, the VAT is already validated; when a lease renews, the schedule updates. One version of the numbers, not four.

And the authority stays yours. Payment release, delegation limits and final sign-off on the figures your board sees remain on your side of the table. We operate inside your controls, not around them.

03Why MYND

We take the work, not just sell you the tool.

Software still leaves someone on your team running payroll and answering for a gratuity error at exit. We take on the daily work and the accountability, so the liability is booked as it builds, not discovered when someone leaves.

Gratuity is where UAE payroll quietly goes wrong: accrued wrong, funded late, or discovered as a lump sum the month someone resigns. We accrue it on the labour-law basis every month and post it to your books, so the number is always current.

That's the pattern across everything we run in the UAE. Here is what actually sets the service apart.

01

We run it, you don't manage it

We run your payroll, process your invoices and keep your filings. You get outcomes and a team that becomes an extension of yours, not another platform to administer.

02

The whole back-office, one partner

Payroll, HRMS, AP automation and lease management in one integrated ecosystem. One partner, one platform and complete visibility, instead of four vendors who don't talk to each other.

03

Proven, not experimental

Not a startup experiment: 25 years, 1,000+ enterprises across 30+ industries, at 99% accuracy held through it. Enterprise-grade reliability, and outcomes you're welcome to check for yourself.

04Industries

05How we work

Live in weeks, and only after you've seen it work.

Most UAE clients are live in four to eight weeks. Nothing cuts over until you've watched the new process match your old one, run for run.

We don't ask for a leap of faith. Before any cutover we run your pay cycle in parallel and reconcile our output against your existing numbers, line by line.

You see the match, you keep the exceptions, and you decide when to go live. The authority to flip the switch stays with you.

01

Assess

We audit your current payroll and finance processes, find the compliance gaps, and map what has to connect to the systems you already run.

02

Configure

We set the platform for UAE compliance, wire up WPS and your UAE banks, and build the workflows your mainland and free-zone entities need.

03

Pilot

We run in parallel with your existing process and reconcile line by line, so you validate the accuracy before anything cuts over.

04

08 FAQs

UAE outsourcing FAQs.

Straight answers on WPS, free zones, banks, timelines and control, the questions UAE businesses ask us most.

Still have questions? Talk to us
Do you guarantee WPS compliance?

Our payroll includes automated SIF file generation aligned to MOHRE requirements. We validate every salary transfer before submission and keep a compliance record you can show the authorities. Across 25 years and 1,000+ enterprises we hold accuracy at 99%.

Can you handle both mainland and free-zone employees?

Yes. We run multi-entity payroll across mainland (MOHRE) and the major free zones, including DIFC, DMCC and JAFZA. Where a zone follows its own rules, such as DIFC's DEWS scheme in place of end-of-service gratuity, we apply the right treatment automatically.

Which UAE banks do you work with?

We connect to the UAE banks our clients already use, including Emirates NBD, First Abu Dhabi Bank (FAB), ADCB and Mashreq. Salary files flow through WPS-compliant channels, and payment release stays with your authorised signatories.

How quickly can we go live?

Payroll can be live in 2 to 4 weeks. Multi-entity engagements with system integration and process redesign typically take 6 to 8 weeks. We run in parallel with your current process before any cutover, so you see identical results twice before you rely on us once.

Do you have a team in the UAE?

Yes. Our UAE office is in Business Bay, Dubai, with local specialists who understand the regulations and can meet you in person. You can reach the team on +971-65-256457.

Can we start with one service and add more later?

Yes. Start with payroll, or only Accounts Payable, and add HR, lease management or VAT filing as you see results. Because it runs on one platform, data flows across services when you add them, with no re-implementation.

09 Let's talk

Start with one process, not your whole back-office.

Name one process you'd like off your team's desk: WPS payroll, gratuity, payables or VAT filing. We'll assess your current setup at no cost, show you where the compliance and cost gaps are, and prove the fix on a pilot before anything moves.
