Questions we get about the UAE.
Does Magnar generate MOHRE WPS files for the UAE?
Yes. Payroll produces the Salary Information File in the format the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation expects, per legal entity, so each company in a group files correctly.
Can Magnar run payroll across mainland and free-zone companies together?
Yes. Magnar enables organizations to manage payroll across mainland and free-zone companies within a single platform, while maintaining entity-specific payroll rules, data isolation, and consolidated group-level reporting.
How does Magnar handle UAE end-of-service gratuity?
Gratuity accrues continuously against each employee's contract and service history and is settled on exit under the UAE labour law, so the liability is known in advance rather than discovered at termination.
Can Magnar run payroll for multiple legal entities in the UAE?
Yes. Magnar is multi-company by design: unlimited legal entities, each with its own payroll calendar, statutory rules, approval workflows and data isolation, all administered from one system and reported on together.
Does Magnar work in Arabic?
Yes. The web application and the employee self-service mobile apps run in English, Arabic (full right-to-left) and Spanish, so each employee works in their own language while HR reports in one.
Can Magnar integrate with our existing ERP?
Yes. Magnar integrates natively with SAP Business One and posts to SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics and Odoo through the Integration Hub, so payroll journals reach the general ledger without re-keying.
