UAE WPS Export: What WatheeqaHR Does and Doesn't Do

For UAE companies, WatheeqaHR can generate a WPS SIF (Salary Information File) export from an approved salary period, formatted for the UAE's Wage Protection System. WatheeqaHR does not submit this file to a bank, exchange house, or MOHRE on your behalf — you download it and submit it yourself through your existing WPS/bank process. This export is UAE-only; no equivalent exists for Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Qatar or Oman.

Steps

  1. Approve the salary period first

    The SIF export is generated from an Approved salary period — it isn't available for a Draft or Reviewed period.

  2. Generate the SIF export

    From the approved salary period, use the WPS/SIF export option to download the file.

  3. Verify the file with your bank or WPS agent

    Since WatheeqaHR doesn't submit the file, confirm its format is accepted by your specific bank or exchange house before relying on it for a live submission.

  4. Submit through your existing WPS channel

    Upload or send the file through your bank's WPS portal or your PRO/payroll provider, exactly as you would with a file from any other source.

Frequently asked questions

Does WatheeqaHR file my WPS submission for me?
No. WatheeqaHR generates the SIF export file. Submitting it to a bank, exchange house, or MOHRE remains your responsibility.
Is this available for companies outside the UAE?
No. The WPS SIF export is a UAE-specific feature. WatheeqaHR does not generate an equivalent statutory export for Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Qatar or Oman.
What if my bank rejects the generated file?
Contact support with the specific error — SIF format requirements can vary slightly by bank, and this helps us confirm compatibility.
Does generating a SIF export mean WatheeqaHR is WPS-compliant?
It means WatheeqaHR can produce a WPS-formatted export for your own use. WatheeqaHR itself is not a licensed payroll provider or a party to your WPS submission.
