9.1ÌýÌýÌýÌý Wage protection system (WPS)
The wage protection system (WPS) is implemented across all GCC countries including the UAE. Ministerial resolutions regarding the WPS can be found at the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MOHRE).
The scheme obliges employers to pay salaries in local currency at regular intervals of no less than one month, into a local bank account. The WPS can apply to some free zones (for example, it does apply to Jebel Ali Free Zone). For non-compliance penalties, see 8.1.
