  WPS SIF file and end of service

  Monthly payroll in AED with a WPS salary file for your bank and end-of-service gratuity. Since 1 June 2026 (Resolution 340 of 2026) wages are due on the 1st of the following month with no grace period, and 85 percent of wages must go through WPS. Before a run closes, Aqid ERP warns when its payday is after the 1st and when an employee has no IBAN and would be paid outside WPS. The GPSSA pension for UAE and GCC nationals is not yet in the table, and no bank has yet accepted an Aqid ERP WPS file.
