Ministerial Resolution No. (340) of 2026, issued by the UAE Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation, introduces new requirements for the Wage Protection System (WPS). These changes will affect all private sector establishments and are set to come into effect on June 1, 2026.
The updated regulations include mandates for unified payment dates for employee salaries and revised compliance thresholds for WPS reporting. Businesses, including startups, must ensure their payroll processes are aligned with these new requirements to avoid penalties.
