Payroll and WPS
The payroll and WPS module pays a construction workforce under UAE rules. Approved hours, unpaid leave and loan repayments flow into payslips, the run produces a WPS salary file after checking every worker's IBAN, person code and routing code, and the run posts to the ledger by cost centre and project.

How a typical month runs
During the month, approved timesheets, overtime authorisations, unpaid leave and loan repayments build up against each worker. At month end payroll runs the batch: payslips are calculated on salary grades and components, overtime is priced on the hourly basic rate, and the run is checked so every worker has a valid IBAN, person code and routing code. The approved run produces the WPS salary file for the bank and posts the payroll journal to the ledger by cost centre and project. If a mistake is found after payment, a correction is settled as arrears or a recovery in a later run, leaving the file already sent untouched.
Rules it enforces
- Overtime and gratuity are priced on basic salary.
- A paid run is never edited; corrections are settled as arrears or recoveries.
- The WPS header total always equals the employee lines, including off-cycle earnings.
Where it connects
Read the labour law guide and use the gratuity calculator and WPS file checker. It shares its records with the other areas: projects and tenders, supply and logistics, site stores, quality and handover, interim payments, approvals, time and attendance, finance and vat, banking and budgets, assets and documents. See the construction ERP overview or book a demo.
