UAE Upgrades Wage Protection System to Deliver Lightning-Fast Salary Transfers

The UAE has officially launched its upgraded Wage Protection System (WPS), and it’s designed to make salary payments feel less like admin work and more like a smooth, fully digital tap-and-go process.

What’s New in the Updated WPS

The Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MoHRE), together with the Central Bank and Al Etihad Payments, revamped the system to allow direct data integration between employers, banks, and MoHRE. No more back-and-forth uploads — everything now syncs automatically.

The WPS already handles salaries for more than 99% of private-sector workers, moving over Dh35 billion every month. With the new upgrade, those transfers become quicker and more efficient.

Faster Processing, Fewer Delays

The enhanced system speeds up registration, verification, and salary-tracking. Employers can now complete everything digitally — from reading employee data straight from MoHRE’s database to monitoring salary movements in real time.

This means workers get paid on time, companies reduce errors, and delays don’t snowball into disputes.

A More Secure, Smarter Labour Market

The new WPS setup also strengthens oversight and compliance with UAE labour laws. With an accurate, central database and automated monitoring, the system helps minimise wage-related issues while supporting a more stable labour market.

It also improves communication across government and financial entities to ensure transparency and build trust in the employment ecosystem — all aligned with the UAE’s push towards We the UAE 2031 goals.

Why It Matters

In simple terms: salaries go out faster, companies deal with fewer headaches, and workers get better protection. The upgrade marks a major step in the UAE’s digital transformation, expanding participation across financial institutions and giving employers an easier way to manage payouts through their existing digital banking platforms.
