The Wage Protection System (WPS) is a comprehensive electronic salary transfer system initiated by the Qatar Central Bank and the Ministry of Labour to ensure that workers receive their agreed-upon wages on time. Under Qatari Labour Law, it is mandatory for all private sector companies to register and process payroll through an authorized financial institution. Failure to comply or delays in salary transfers can lead to severe penalties, including the blocking of your company’s visa services or significant financial fines. At Kenza Services, we act as your compliance bridge, ensuring that your corporate SIF (Salary Information File) is correctly formatted and submitted to avoid any regulatory friction.
Opening a corporate bank account in Qatar is a foundational step in company formation, yet it is often one of the most time-consuming processes due to rigorous “Know Your Customer” (KYC) requirements. Many international investors struggle with the documentation required by local banks, such as the Commercial Registration (CR), Trade License, and Articles of Association. Our consultants simplify this by maintaining strong relationships with leading Qatari financial institutions. We provide a pre-submission audit of your documents to ensure they meet specific bank policies, significantly reducing the “back-and-forth” and accelerating your account activation so your business can become operational without delay.
A critical component of WPS compliance is the accurate generation of the Salary Information File (SIF). This file must contain specific data points, including the employee’s QID, basic salary, allowances, and any authorized deductions, all adhering to the strict .csv or .txt formatting required by the bank. Even a minor error in a QID number or an extra space in the file can lead to a total rejection of the payroll batch, resulting in late payments and labor law violations. Kenza Services provides technical support to help businesses automate or double-check these files, ensuring every Riyal is accounted for and every transfer is validated by the system on the first attempt.
If a company fails to pay employees through the WPS for a single month, the Ministry of Labour can instantly suspend its ability to issue new work permits or renew existing ones. Recovering from a “WPS Blockage” requires a complex reconciliation process involving the bank and the Ministry. Our consultation services go beyond simple setup; we offer ongoing monitoring and advisory to help you stay ahead of policy changes. Whether you are dealing with a technical glitch in the WPS portal or need to rectify a salary discrepancy from a previous month, Kenza Services provides the expert intervention needed to keep your company in good standing with the Qatari authorities.
• Opening a Bank Account – Employees: Employees with a valid QID must open a personal bank account for salary transactions.
