The United Arab Emirates has introduced a stricter payroll compliance framework under the Wage Protection System (WPS UAE) for private sector employers. The Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MOHRE) confirmed that the updated rules will take effect from June 1, 2026, under Ministerial Resolution No. 340 of 2026.<\/span><\/p>\n

Under the new UAE labour law salary payment rules, employers must ensure that employee salaries for the previous month are paid on the first day of every month. This applies to all MOHRE-registered private sector companies across the UAE and is designed to reduce wage delays and improve timely salary payment in the UAE private sector.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

All salary payments must be processed through the Wage Protection System (WPS UAE) or other approved payroll transfer channels. Any salary paid after the deadline will be considered a late salary payment under UAE labour law, even if internal payroll cycles or bank processing delays are involved.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
