The “Salary information File” is a digital format file used by organizations to process and pay employee’s salaries in the UAE. The SIF file is a mandatory process of payroll processing in the UAE that ensures that businesses comply with local laws and regulations. It also provides a record of the salaries paid to employees, which can be used for auditing and other purposes.
According to the Ministry of Labour in UAE, every organization is required to process payroll through the WPS(Wages protection system). To facilitate this, employers are required to submit a salary information file (SIF) file to the WPS system. The SIF file is a digital record that contains information about the salaries and other details of the employees. The file contains detailed information, including; employee name, bank account details, salary amounts, and other relevant information. The SIF file needs to be prepared monthly and submitted through the Wages Protection System (WPS) through the employer’s bank to distribute salaries to employees.Â
Creating the SIF report through the WPS is mandatory for running payroll processes in UAE. In order to generate a SIF report, it is essential that employers have all the necessary information about every employee. These are the details required in SIF reports.
