WPS: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn how the Wage Protection System protects your salary and what to do if your employer fails to pay you on time.
The Wage Protection System is a digital framework designed to ensure that private sector employees receive their salaries on time and in full.
Who it's for
This system is for all employees working within the private sector.
What you get
You are guaranteed that your salary will be paid to you through registered banks, ensuring your income is processed reliably and on time.
What it costs you
There is no cost to you as an employee. Any transaction fees required to process the payments are covered by your employer.
The catch to know
If your employer fails to pay you on time, you do not have to wait indefinitely; you can file a formal complaint directly through the official mobile app provided by the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratis (MOHRE).
How to apply
- Confirm you are employed in the private sector.
- Check that your salary is being deposited into your bank account via the official system.
- If payments are delayed, download the relevant government mobile app to file a complaint.
