How Does the Wage Protection System Work?

WPS in the DMCC Free Zone works by recording and tracking all salary payments. Employers must pay employees using electronic banking. Each payment must go through the WPS platform so the authorities can monitor payments.

To register your employees for WPS salary transfer, follow these steps:

Step 1: Get a list of employees with and without bank accounts.
Step 2: Log in to the DMCC Member Portal.
Step 3: Go to “My Reports,” pick “WPS Salary Report,” and enter each employee’s salary details to create a report.
Step 4: Save a soft copy of the report for your records.
Step 5:
- If your employee has a bank account, contact the bank to make the salary file.
- If your employee has no bank account, visit an exchange house to make the salary file.
Step 6: When the bank or exchange house creates the file, you’re ready to pay salaries using WPS. The DMCC Free Zone can now watch for any late or missing payments.

If you miss a payment, or pay late, the authorities will spot the issue fast. Companies that break WPS rules can face penalties or other problems. This makes the system fair, honest, and safe for all.
