Payroll services for UAE companies

Payroll means paying people correctly, on time and with a clear record of what was paid. This page explains what payroll support can include, how a monthly cycle usually runs and what we need from you to start.

Who it suits

Payroll support is commonly used by growing companies that no longer want to calculate salaries in a spreadsheet, by owners who want payroll kept apart from their other duties, and by new employers running a first pay cycle.

It also suits businesses whose payroll changes from month to month because of overtime, leave, new joiners or leavers.

What payroll support can include

Scope is agreed with you. These are the areas payroll support typically covers.

  • Monthly payroll preparation

    Working out each person's pay from the contract terms, attendance information and any changes you send.

  • Payslips

    Preparing a payslip for every employee that shows how the amount was reached.

  • Salary payment files

    Preparing the payment instructions in the format your bank or payment channel asks for, for you to review and release.

  • Leave and end-of-service workings

    Keeping leave balances and preparing end-of-service calculations from the rules and contract terms that apply to you.

  • Payroll records

    Keeping a clear history of each cycle so it can be shown to an auditor, a bank or a government body when asked.

How a payroll cycle works

  1. Step 1: Share your employee details

    Send contracts, salary components and any allowances or deductions.
  2. Step 2: Agree the calendar

    Set the date each month by which changes reach us and the date payslips are ready for your review.
  3. Step 3: We prepare the payroll

    The Nexoviz team calculates the payroll and prepares payslips and the payment file.
  4. Step 4: You review and approve

    You check the figures, ask questions and release the payments from your own account.
  5. Step 5: Records are filed

    The cycle is stored with its supporting information so the next month starts from a clean position.

What we need from you

  • Employment contracts

    The pay terms for each employee, including allowances.

  • Monthly changes

    New joiners, leavers, overtime, unpaid leave and any one-off payments or deductions.

  • Attendance or leave records

    Whatever your business uses to show days worked and leave taken.

  • Payment details

    The bank or payment channel and the file format it accepts.

  • Prior payroll records

    If you are switching from another arrangement, the last few cycles help us start from the right balances.

Rules that apply

Wage payment, leave, end-of-service benefits and record-keeping are governed by UAE labour rules and by the requirements of the relevant authority. Those rules can change and can differ by employer type, so check the official guidance for your company.

We explain the process and prepare the workings. The employer stays responsible for the payments it makes and for the decisions in each cycle.

Frequently asked questions

Can you run payroll for a small team?
Yes, team size does not decide whether payroll support makes sense. Tell us how many people you pay and how often their pay changes, and we will discuss the scope.
Do you pay my staff?
We prepare the payroll and the payment file. You review it and release the payments from your own account, so you stay in control of the money.
Can you calculate end-of-service payments?
We can prepare the workings from the contract and the rules that apply. The final amount depends on those terms and on the law at the time, so check it against the official guidance.
What if my payroll is late or wrong?
Tell us as soon as you notice. We review the cycle, correct the workings and adjust the next cycle if needed. We cannot promise that an authority will take any particular view of a late payment.
How much does payroll support cost?
Cost depends on the number of employees and the complexity of the pay structure. We do not publish fixed fees. Describe your business and we will discuss it with you.
