UAE payroll has three recurring pain points: WPS salary files, gratuity and leave provisions. Odoo’s UAE payroll localisation handles all three.
WPS files
Odoo generates Wages Protection System reports in the .sif format required by the government, straight from payslips.
End-of-service gratuity
Odoo calculates end-of-service on 21 days of salary per year for the first five years and 30 days per year after that, and posts monthly provisions so the liability is always visible in accounting.
Leave and allowances
- Annual leave provisions accumulated monthly
- Sick leave tiers: fully paid, half paid and unpaid
- Housing, transport, conveyance, medical, annual passage and overtime allowances
- Social insurance for UAE/GCC nationals and DIFC DEWS where applicable
