Audit and protection of labor relations in the UAE
— Labor and tax legislation in the UAE is attractive to employers because there is no payroll tax, as well as accruals to various funds: pension fund, medical insurance fund, social insurance fund and others.
Despite the fact that in many countries of the world the tax and other financial burden on salaries is 40-50%.

However, the labor rights of employees in the UAE are protected and employers have certain responsibilities, failure to comply with which may entail legal consequences.
Pay wages through the WPS (Wage Protection System).
If the employer did not pay the PO to employees through the WPS system, they will be required to re-pay the entire PO for the entire period, even if they have proof of the actual payment of the PO (for example, bank transfers or receipts from employees).
Apply for a resident work visa (Emirates ID). The employer is prohibited from collecting visa costs from employees.
Provide employees with health insurance.
