Is Upcess HRMS compliant with WPS?

Upcess HRMS generates WPS salary files (SIF) for the banks and exchange houses you use. We confirm the list of banks and exchange houses we have tested with, and the file format, before go-live.

Does it calculate end-of-service gratuity under UAE labour law?

Yes. Gratuity is calculated from contract and salary data using the UAE labour law rules. HR and finance can review the calculation for each employee before final settlement.

Does it cover other GCC countries?

Payroll and HR rules are set up per country. Contact us for the current list of supported countries, because rules differ and each one is configured separately.

How does payroll post to SAP?

Once payroll is approved, Upcess HRMS creates a journal for SAP FI/CO with the right GL accounts and cost centres. Finance can check the journal before it posts.

Can employees use it in Arabic?

Yes. The self-service app supports English and Arabic, so employees can view payslips, request leave and see their documents in their language.

Can we run Upcess HRMS alongside our current payroll first?

Yes. We recommend a parallel run, where both systems calculate payroll for one or two cycles and the results are compared, before you switch over fully.

The problem

HR runs on spreadsheets and reminders

Payroll is calculated in spreadsheets and WPS salary files get rejected.

Payroll runs in one system, with WPS salary files generated for your bank.

End-of-service gratuity is worked out by hand.

Gratuity is calculated automatically from contract data under UAE labour law.

Visa, Emirates ID and passport renewals are missed.

Expiry alerts for visas, Emirates IDs and passports, before they lapse.

HR data is out of sync with SAP Finance.

Payroll and cost-centre data post to SAP Finance automatically.
