The UAE Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MOHRE) classifies every employer into one of four categories based on WPS compliance history. Your category directly determines how many work visas you can apply for and how quickly the MOHRE processes your applications.
| Category | Compliance Profile | Visa Quota Access | Key Implication |
|---|---|---|---|
| Category A | 3–5+ years of clean WPS history; no salary delays; complete SIF submissions every month | Enhanced quota; fastest processing; eligible for priority services | Unlimited visa quota expansion available; lowest fee rate |
| Category B | 1–3 years of operation; minor WPS delays of less than 10 days; no repeated violations | Standard visa quota; normal processing times | Most UAE employers; consistent WPS payments maintains this level |
| Category C | New employer (under 1 year); repeated salary delays; incomplete SIF files or errors | Reduced quota; applications under 6-month review period | Six consecutive months of clean WPS compliance upgrades to Category B |
| Category D | Salary arrears over 60 days; employee labour complaints upheld; persistent non-compliance | Visa ban; blacklisted from new applications | Business operations severely restricted until all arrears cleared |
MOHRE's strict Wages Protection System rewards speed and accurate file execution. Even minor formatting mistakes in your SIF documents can block employee pay distribution and invite heavy regulatory fines. ETaxFlow keeps you fully compliant every cycle.
Compiles employee record IDs, bank routing numbers, fixed allowances, and base pay fields into text files accepted by all major UAE banks — Emirates NBD, ADCB, FAB, Mashreq and more.
Flags missing labor cards, out-of-bounds salary limits, or incorrect bank routing codes before you finalize payment files — preventing MOHRE compliance failures before they happen.
MOHRE employer categories A–D tracked automatically. Classification updated based on WPS compliance history, affecting visa quota access and labor ban risk.
Every SIF file generated, submitted, and confirmed is logged with timestamps. Provides a complete WPS compliance history for MOHRE inspections.
A Salary Information File (SIF) is the standard file format required by the UAE Central Bank and Ministry of Human Resources for WPS salary transfers. It contains employee IBAN, salary details, and employer information. ETaxFlow generates this file automatically from your payroll run.
All UAE WPS-registered banks accept the standard SIF format, including Emirates NBD, FAB, ADCB, Mashreq, RAK Bank, DIB, and licensed exchange houses like Al Ansari and UAE Exchange. ETaxFlow's SIF file is compatible with all of them.
Under UAE Labour Law (Federal Decree-Law No. 33 of 2021), end of service gratuity is 21 calendar days of basic salary per year for the first 5 years, and 30 days per year thereafter. ETaxFlow calculates and accrues EOSB each month automatically.
Yes. ETaxFlow automatically pro-rates salary for employees who join or leave mid-month, calculating the exact number of working days and applying the appropriate daily rate to their pay.
