UAE labour-law-aware payroll — from salary structures to WPS file, in one closed-loop process.
Payroll in a GCC FM operation is not just a salary calculation. It is a compliance exercise involving UAE Federal Decree-Law on Labour Relations, Wages Protection System (WPS) bank submission, end-of-service (EOS) gratuity accrual, GPSSA contributions for UAE nationals, multi-currency allowances, and overtime rules that depend on what shift pattern the employee is on. Any payroll system that doesn't model these requirements correctly is not a time-saving tool — it is a source of audit risk. The common failure mode is the manual bridge: attendance data exported from one system, overtime approvals chased over email, allowance adjustments entered by hand, EOS calculated in a spreadsheet because the HR system can't model the edge cases, and the WPS file produced by a separate tool or submitted manually. Payroll closes five days late because the data isn't ready. Finance accruals are estimated because the final number isn't confirmed. Coreziyo's Payroll Engine closes that loop. Attendance feeds directly from the biometric and shift system with no export step. Overtime approvals flow from the operations team into payroll as structured records. EOS accrues automatically from the employment start date according to the correct legal formula. The WPS file is generated on payroll approval and posted to the general ledger in the same step.
Payroll is only as accurate as the data feeding it. An overtime calculation based on manually extracted attendance data will be wrong in proportion to the number of manual steps between the biometric clock and the final number. At 3,900 employees across 1,000 buildings, those manual steps accumulate into material errors and compliance risk.
Coreziyo’s Payroll Engine is not a standalone payroll tool — it is the downstream consumer of the attendance, shift, and overtime data that the operations team generates every day. The data flows. The calculations run. The WPS file is produced. The journals post. The payroll run is a confirmation of what already happened, not a reconstruction of it.
For GCC FM operators with UAE labour law obligations, multi-entity structures, and large multi-nationality workforces, this is what accurate, timely, compliant payroll looks like at scale.
What you actually get
UAE labour law calculations
Annual leave pay, overtime rates, notice period entitlements, and end-of-service gratuity all calculated according to UAE Federal Decree-Law No. 33 of 2021. Legal formula is built in — not configured on implementation, not maintained in a spreadsheet.
Salary structures and allowances
Configurable salary structures with basic salary, housing allowance, transport allowance, and other fixed or variable components. Multi-currency payroll supported for operations spanning multiple GCC markets. Each component flows correctly into EOS and overtime calculations.
WPS file generation
Wages Protection System salary information file (SIF) generated automatically on payroll approval, formatted for UAE bank submission. No manual formatting, no separate WPS tool — the file is ready when the payroll run closes.
GPSSA and pension contributions
UAE national employee pension contributions to GPSSA calculated and reported correctly. Separate contribution schedules for UAE nationals and expatriates handled within the same payroll run.
Automatic GL posting
Payroll journal entries — salary expense by cost centre, allowance accruals, GPSSA liability, EOS provision — post to the general ledger automatically on payroll approval. Finance sees the labour cost as a live number without waiting for a manual journal.
How it shows up in real operations
With 3,900+ technicians and ops staff across 1,000+ buildings, a GCC FM operator cannot run payroll manually. Attendance records from dozens of sites feed directly into the payroll engine via biometric integration. Overtime approved by operations supervisors is already in the system — not arriving by email the day before the payroll run closes. End-of-service provisions accumulate automatically for every employee from their joining date. The payroll run becomes a review and approval process, not a data-gathering exercise. The finance team sees the completed journal on the same day payroll is approved. The WPS file is submitted to the bank without manual intervention. The entire cycle — which previously took five working days — closes in one.
