TXM Solutions
Providing first class Recruitment and Employer Of Record Services in Dubai and across the UAE
Expanding into the Middle East brings immense growth opportunities for big companies, but managing employee salaries and benefits in this diverse region comes with its challenges. Navigating local laws, multi-currency payroll systems, and country-specific benefits can be complex, especially when managing an international workforce. This is where Employer of Record (EOR) services come into play—enabling companies to handle payroll, compliance, and HR functions efficiently and compliantly across the Middle East.
Here’s how large organizations are leveraging EOR solutions to streamline salary and benefit management:
Centralized Payroll and Compliance with EOR Services
For companies operating across multiple Middle Eastern countries, using an EOR ensures a standardized approach to payroll. EOR providers handle country-specific requirements for salary disbursement, tax, and social contributions, all while adhering to the nuances of each local law. This allows for seamless payroll processing without the need for in-house experts on every country’s regulations, reducing administrative complexity and ensuring consistent compliance.
Local Compliance Made Simple
Each Middle Eastern country has unique labor laws, affecting everything from minimum wage to mandatory benefits. EORs maintain local expertise, ensuring companies meet all legal requirements without the need for constant monitoring of legislative changes. By relying on an EOR, companies avoid potential compliance risks, such as fines and legal issues, which can arise from non-compliance with labor laws.
Customizable and Compliant Benefits Programs
Attracting top talent requires more than just competitive salaries; companies must offer attractive benefit packages as well. EORs allow businesses to offer country-compliant benefits packages, including medical insurance, housing allowances, and transportation stipends, while tailoring them to specific local demands. For example, in the UAE and Saudi Arabia, health insurance is legally required, and EOR providers ensure that each benefit meets legal standards, enhancing the company’s appeal to prospective employees.
Efficient Wage Protection System (WPS) Management
Countries such as the UAE mandate the use of a Wage Protection System (WPS) to ensure that employee wages are paid accurately and on time through authorized financial institutions. EORs streamline this process by integrating WPS compliance into their payroll operations, guaranteeing that employees receive their salaries securely and consistently. This not only ensures compliance but also improves employee trust in the organization.
Simplified Multi-Currency and Tax Management
Managing payroll for employees in various countries means dealing with multiple currencies and navigating tax obligations. EOR providers handle multi-currency payroll and tax considerations, ensuring that employees receive payments in their preferred currency while also complying with each country's tax laws. This simplifies payroll management and reduces risks associated with exchange rates, making it easier for large companies to operate across borders.
End-of-Service Benefits (EOSB) Administration
End-of-service benefits (EOSB), or gratuity payments, are mandatory in many Middle Eastern countries and are based on the employee’s years of service. EOR providers manage these benefits on behalf of companies, setting aside funds and ensuring accurate calculations for departing employees. By partnering with an EOR, businesses can confidently fulfill these obligations without dedicating additional resources to manage EOSB.

Employee Wellbeing and Cultural Integration
The wellbeing of expatriates and local employees alike is essential for long-term retention and satisfaction. EORs offer support services, such as mental health resources and relocation assistance, helping employees integrate smoothly into the Middle Eastern work culture. By providing these benefits, companies can reduce turnover and create a positive work environment that attracts top talent from around the world.
