In yet another significant stride to further protect the rights of those employed in the country, the new system will benefit over four million employees in UAE. WPS is an initiative to safeguard payment of workers' wages via transfers through selected financial institutions, which will be authorised as well as regulated by the government.

Compliance with the WPS is mandatory for all businesses operating in the UAE; reflects the government's willingness to safeguard the basic rights of all concerned parties,"

NeST's WPS Doorway offers enterprises an opportunity to decouple their IT needs and the effort spent for validations. This pay-for-service model helps the major Corporates in the region in terms of containment of their costs. The Wages Protection System (WPS) guidelines of the Ministry of Labour of the UAE Government, necessitates Corporates and their Banks to file regular electronic returns about the compensation paid to the workers.  However, a major time consuming issue faced by the system is on account of getting the input files rejected by  Central Bank/ MOL due to improper data formatting and other integrity issues.

The WPS Doorway helps the corporates as well as the Banks by providing services with significant cost and effort savings and increased efficiency. With minimal management effort and service provider interaction, we help you to generate output files that contain salary information in the  prescribed format that would simplify and speed up the processing.

Software services major, NeST Information Technologies

Ltd, takes another stride into the brave new world of Cloud Computing, with the launch of its new SAAS (Software As A Service) offering, the NeST WPS Doorway, for the Employers in the United Arab Emirates. 

The new offering is already launched.  UAE Employers can subscribe to this hosted service that is available on a 24 x 7 basis from https://wps.nestgroup.net, the same can be enhanced to integrate with employers HR-Payroll system.  For more information you may please contact us on wpsdoorway.enquiry@nestgroup.net 

This web-based software is designed to help the major employers in the region generate Salary Information Files pertaining to the payroll of their employees with proper data integrity and formatting.  This would simplify and speed up the processing of these files at the later stages by the Central Bank of UAE.  With the strict implementation of the  Wages Protection System guidelines of the Ministry of Labour of the UAE Government, Employers and their Banks have to file regular electronic returns about the compensation paid  to the workers and have been facing hassles of finding their input files being rejected on account of improper data formatting and integrity issues.

NeST, which has supplied the nodal WPS Compliance Suite to most of UAE's leading banks and Agents, is bullish about this exciting new Business Model.  The Employers who use this facility can upload their payroll information in a user-friendly Excel format to get it converted to the Salary Information File (SIF) and can submit it to the Ministry of Labour via the respective Employer Bank. The system will perform all possible validations while generating the SIF file and hence there will not be even a slight chance of getting the file rejected from the Central Bank. In case of any errors/ nonconformities in the uploaded file, it will generate a detailed Error Description that will guide the concerned staff to correct the file.

In case of companies who generate SIF from their respective Payroll departments, there is a high risk involved by  getting the SIF rejected from the central bank due to its very strict and stringent validations occurring there. NeST WPS Doorway has its excellent feature called SIF validator that will fire all possible validations for a given SIF file. It will generate a very detailed, crystal clear Error Description file that will unmistakably educate / guide the concerned Employer staff to correct the SIF file. The Error description file generated by the system describes all the errors contained in the file, line by line. It specifies in which line /record number the error has occurred and the advice required in this regard to rectify the error.

The advantage in using the hosted service is, of course, in not having to maintain the application on a day-to-day basis and also not having to invest a large sum upfront in acquiring it.

NeST IT, which is into consulting, application development and management, system integration and turnkey projects  has been servicing clients from diverse verticals like BFSI, Telecom, Aviation, Manufacturing, Healthcare etc over the last decade.  NeST IT is part of the rapidly growing NeST Group of technology companies that have footprint across the Americas, MEA, Europe, Asia and Australia.

We are more than happy to support the employers and employee in this esteemed nation.
