The UAE’s labour law provides six salary payment options: monthly, weekly, daily, hourly, commission-based, and piece-rate. Employers must pay wages by the first day of the following month or within 15 days if not specified in the contract.
The Wage Protection System (WPS) mandates wage payments through authorized banks or financial institutions to ensure timely and secure transactions. While there’s no set minimum wage, salaries must cover basic living expenses. Employers must maintain records of payments and comply with specified payment methods to avoid penalties.
