Decree-Law 33/2021, automated.
UAE employment regulation is unforgiving. Miss a visa renewal, misapply a leave rule, file WPS late — and you're paying fines. Simplify is built around Federal Decree-Law No. 33 of 2021 so you stay compliant by default.
Eight compliance rules. All calculated for you.
Annual leave
2 days / month in year one, 30 days / year thereafter — accrued and carried per Decree-Law 33/2021.
Sick leave
15 days full pay + 30 days half pay — tracked per employee, auto-applied.
Maternity leave
60 days (45 full + 15 half pay) — scheduled, tracked, and reflected in payroll.
Hajj leave
30 days unpaid, once per employment — tracked against the eligibility rule.
End-of-service gratuity
21 days basic pay / year for first 5 years, 30 days / year after — auto-calculated, two-year cap respected.
Overtime
25% uplift standard, 50% for night / weekend — per Decree-Law 33/2021 rules.
Working hours
8 hours / day, 48 hours / week limits enforced. Ramadan reduced-hour rules supported.
WPS payroll
Generate the Salary Information File for WPS transfer. Every mandatory field correctly populated.
UAE labour fines aren't a deterrent — they're a business model.
One missed expiry or one late WPS salary and the fine is your whole software budget for the year. Simplify pays for itself on your first saved fine.
WPS non-compliance / late salary
Visa overstay
Improper termination / wrongful dismissal
Labour-court settlement on miscalculated gratuity
Stay compliant by default.
Simplify HR was built specifically for Decree-Law 33/2021. Every calculation, every alert, every WPS file — correct the way UAE law requires, not the way US payroll software assumed.
