Trusted by 250+ UAE Companies in Dubai, Abu Dhabi & Beyond
Automated SIF files, gratuity tracking, and payslips. Built for UAE labour law from day one.
Every month, UAE HR teams deal with a combination of obligations that generic payroll tools simply were not built for. The WPS SIF file must be correctly formatted and submitted to the right bank before the salary deadline. Gratuity liability grows for every employee and must be calculated accurately using the basic salary under Federal Decree-Law No. 33. Overtime follows a specific formula. Sick leave has three pay tiers. And the moment any of this goes wrong, the consequences land in your inbox from MOHRE.
TrueBays StackHX is built specifically for this environment. The WPS SIF file is generated automatically at the end of every payroll run, formatted correctly for your bank. Gratuity is calculated monthly so finance always knows the liability. Overtime, leave deductions, and allowances are pulled from attendance records automatically. And when an employee exits, the final settlement, gratuity, leave encashment, and last salary are all calculated together in one figure.
This is not a global payroll tool that has been adapted for the UAE. Every calculation, every compliance rule, and every bank format in TrueBays StackHX was built for the UAE from the ground up.

TrueBays StackHX payroll is trusted by organisations across every major sector in the UAE. Each industry has its own payroll complexity — construction companies deal with large blue-collar workforces across multiple sites, healthcare organisations have shift-based overtime and allowance structures, hospitality businesses manage seasonal staff and tip distribution, and professional services firms handle complex commission and bonus calculations. TrueBays StackHX handles all of these within the same platform.

Monthly gratuity liability tracking means finance always knows what the company owes in end-of-service obligations. Final settlements are calculated precisely when an employee exits with no manual computation needed.

What is the best payroll software in UAE?
TrueBays StackHX is widely regarded as the best payroll software in the UAE for companies that need genuine WPS compliance rather than a workaround. It automates SIF file generation for all major UAE banks, calculates gratuity under Federal Decree-Law No. 33, handles multi-currency payroll, and integrates natively with HR and attendance — all in one platform built for UAE requirements from day one. It is trusted by over 250 UAE businesses across construction, healthcare, retail, and professional services.
How do I choose payroll software in Dubai?
When evaluating payroll software for a Dubai business, the most important criteria are WPS compliance with automatic SIF file generation, UAE labour law coverage including Decree-Law No. 33 gratuity, multi-currency capability for an international workforce, native integration with your HR and attendance systems, compatibility with UAE banks, and local support availability. TrueBays StackHX meets all of these and includes a UAE-based implementation team that handles setup within one week.
Is payroll software mandatory in the UAE?
Payroll software itself is not legally mandated. However, WPS compliance is mandatory for most private sector employers in the UAE, and generating accurate SIF files manually for workforces of 20 or more employees is highly error-prone. WPS violations result in escalating fines and suspension of new work permit applications. Most UAE businesses use dedicated payroll software to avoid these risks.
What is WPS payroll system in UAE?
WPS (Wage Protection System) is a UAE government initiative regulated by MOHRE and the UAE Central Bank requiring employers to pay salaries through approved financial channels using a Salary Information File (SIF). The SIF must be submitted to your bank or exchange house each payroll cycle. TrueBays StackHX generates the correct SIF format automatically for all major UAE banks including Emirates NBD, ADCB, FAB, Mashreq, Dubai Islamic Bank, and RAKBANK.
Does TrueBays payroll software calculate gratuity automatically?
Yes. TrueBays StackHX calculates end-of-service gratuity under Federal Decree-Law No. 33 of 2021 — 21 days of basic salary per year for the first five years of service, and 30 days per year beyond that. The system also tracks each employee's accruing gratuity liability monthly, so finance teams have a real-time view of the total obligation rather than discovering it only when an employee exits.
Can I manage payroll across multiple UAE locations and Free Zones?
Yes. TrueBays StackHX supports multi-company and multi-branch payroll across UAE mainland and all Free Zones including DIFC, ADGM, JAFZA, and DAFZA. Different payroll rules and structures can be applied per entity while HR has a consolidated view across the entire organisation.
Can the system process salaries in multiple currencies?
Yes. TrueBays StackHX supports multi-currency payroll processing. This is particularly relevant for UAE companies with expatriate staff whose packages include elements in their home currency, or for multi-national businesses that need to process payroll across different currency zones from one platform.
How quickly can TrueBays payroll be set up for a UAE business?
TrueBays StackHX can be configured and fully operational within one week for most UAE businesses. The process includes payroll structure configuration, bank SIF format setup, employee data migration, and staff training — all handled by the TrueBays implementation team based in Dubai as part of onboarding.
