Best Payroll Services in Dubai
Accurate, on-time payroll isn't optional. In the UAE it's a legal requirement with real penalties attached. Bazaar Accounting runs your full payroll cycle so your HR and finance teams don't have to.
Payroll in the UAE has more moving parts than most businesses realise
Between WPS deadlines, gratuity calculations, GPSSA contributions, and end-of-service settlements, payroll in the UAE involves far more than a monthly salary run. One miscalculation or missed filing can trigger fines, employee disputes, or compliance flags from the Ministry of Human Resources.
Bazaar Accounting handles the full payroll cycle for businesses across Dubai and the UAE, from monthly salary processing and payslip issuance to WPS filings and year-end settlements, so your HR and finance teams aren't spending their time on it.

Payroll System Setup
Getting payroll right starts with the right system in place. For UAE businesses, that means a setup built for WPS-compliant salary processing, leave and loan tracking, and payslip generation, without your team managing it manually each month.
We handle the full setup on your behalf: configuring a cloud-based payroll platform within your organisation, loading your employee data, and structuring the system around your specific payroll cycle and reporting requirements. Once live, we either run the monthly payroll for you or hand it over to your team, whichever suits your operation better.
- Cloud-based, WPS-compliant platform configured for you
- Employee data loaded and structured to your payroll cycle
- We run it, or hand it over. Your choice
Monthly Payroll Services
UAE employment law is updated regularly. WPS rules, gratuity entitlements, and Ministry of Human Resources guidelines have all changed in recent years. Staying on top of that while processing payroll accurately every month is a real operational burden, especially without a dedicated payroll function in-house.
We take on the full monthly cycle: calculating net salaries, factoring in all deductions and entitlements, generating bank files for salary transfer, and issuing payslips. Each month you also receive a full set of payroll reports:
- Gross to Net & Payroll Journal Vouchers
- Gratuity & Leave Provisions, Year-To-Date summaries
- Loan & Advance reports, Bank File Final Settlements
Payroll Outsourcing for DIFC Companies, With Full DEWS Compliance
If your business is registered inside the Dubai International Financial Centre, your payroll obligations sit under DIFC Employment Law, which operates separately from UAE mainland labour regulations.
The most significant difference is DEWS: the DIFC Employee Workplace Savings scheme, which replaced the traditional end-of-service gratuity system on 1 February 2020 and made monthly employer contributions into a regulated savings plan a legal requirement.
For most DIFC businesses, the challenge isn't understanding DEWS in principle, it's the monthly execution. Contribution calculations, upload file preparation, transfer coordination to the Master Trustee, and joiner/leaver management all need to happen accurately and on time, every month.
Bazaar Accounting manages this process end to end for DIFC-registered clients, alongside the full monthly payroll cycle.
Get DIFC Payroll Support What Is DEWS and Why Does It Affect Your Payroll?
DEWS, the DIFC Employee Workplace Savings plan, requires all DIFC employers to make mandatory monthly contributions into a regulated savings scheme for eligible expatriate employees. The mandatory contribution rates are set by the DIFC Authority based on length of service:
Of monthly basic salary, contributed by the employer into the DEWS plan for each eligible employee.
Of monthly basic salary, reflecting the higher core benefit rate for longer-serving eligible employees.
Rates shown are the standard published DEWS core contribution rates. Confirm the current applicable rates for your entity directly with the DIFC Authority or DEWS Master Trustee, as they can be updated.
We take full ownership of the monthly DEWS process
Each month, employers must prepare a DEWS upload file, populated with employee visa details, basic salary, and contribution amounts, and transfer the total to the DEWS Master Trustee account. Errors or missed submissions can result in penalties and compliance failures with the DIFC Authority.
Our payroll outsourcing DEWS service takes full ownership of this process, from calculating the correct monthly contributions to uploading the file and confirming payment, every single month.
