What to ask a provider in the UAE

  • Do you prepare and submit the wage protection / salary transfer file, or do we?
  • How do you handle social insurance registration and monthly contributions for nationals and for expats?
  • Are end-of-service accruals calculated and reported every month?
  • Who is the legal employer, and who holds the visa or work permit? (EOR only)
  • What is the cut-off for changes before payday, and how are off-cycle runs priced?
