The Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MoHRE) encourages domestic workers to be paid through the Wage Protection System (WPS).
Held in cooperation with the UAE Central Bank, the process of using WPS will allow domestic workers to receive their wages through banks, exchange houses, or financial institutions accredited to provide the service.
The payment method will also help in increasing the transparency, stability and protection of both parties, while also reducing dealing with labour disputes over wages.
From 1 April, 5 out of 19 professions within the domestic workers, including private agricultural engineers, personal assistants, housekeepers, personal tutors and personal trainers, will be applicable for payment through WPS.
