About this Product
This is a build-to-order Odoo module that ECOSIRE designs, develops, installs and supports for your specific company setup — not a one-click download from apps.odoo.com. After purchase we scope your UAE payroll requirements, then hand over a fully working, MOHRE-ready payroll localization on your own Odoo 17, 18 or 19 instance within a typical one working week lead time.
UAE payroll has strict, unforgiving rules: salaries must be paid through the Wage Protection System (WPS) as a bank-formatted SIF (Salary Information File), end-of-service gratuity (EOSB) must follow the UAE Labour Law tenure and pay-basis logic, and HR must stay ahead of visa, labour card and Emirates ID expiries. Odoo core payroll (a Community/Enterprise feature) has no built-in UAE localization, no WPS SIF exporter and no EOSB engine — so teams end up maintaining fragile spreadsheets or paying per-run to an outsourced bureau. This module closes that gap directly inside Odoo.
Under the hood it is a proper Odoo add-on: a clean __manifest__.py declaring dependencies on hr and hr_payroll, new and extended models (models.Model) for AED salary structures, WPS bank/routing configuration and end-of-service provisions, computed fields driven by @api.depends for gratuity and prorated accruals, ir.model.access.csv plus record rules so payroll data stays scoped to authorized HR/finance roles, backend views and menus (XML/OWL) for day-to-day operation, and QWeb reports for payslips and WPS submission summaries. The WPS SIF generator produces the MOHRE-compliant Employee Detail Record (EDR) and Salary Control Record (SCR) layout as a downloadable .txt/.csv, validated for agent/employee routing codes, salary period and totals before you ever upload it to your bank or the MOHRE portal.
Because we build it to order, the salary rules, allowance and deduction categories, WPS field mapping and approval flow match how your company actually runs — across one or multiple UAE entities. You get the source code, so nothing is a black box, and everything integrates natively with Odoo Accounting for journal postings and with the XML-RPC/JSON-RPC API if you need to feed payroll data to other systems. The result is a payroll run that goes from attendance and contracts to compliant SIF export and posted journals without leaving Odoo.
What you get
- The complete, installable Odoo module source code (Python models, XML/OWL views, ir.model.access.csv, record rules, QWeb reports) for your Odoo 17, 18 or 19 version — yours to keep and modify
- Installation and configuration on your instance (or a staging copy), including WPS bank/agent/MOL routing setup and your AED salary structures wired to your existing contracts
- A scoping and configuration session where we map your allowances, deductions, approval flow and multi-entity setup before development starts
- Validated WPS SIF export tested against your bank's specification, with a sample run reconciled to your expected totals before go-live
- Written documentation: a WPS submission runbook, EOSB calculation notes, and an admin guide covering payroll runs, expiry alerts and Emiratisation reporting
- A live training session for your HR/finance team (recorded) covering the monthly payroll cycle, SIF generation and troubleshooting
- A post-launch support and bug-fix window (two weeks) covering the delivered scope, plus optional ongoing support/AMC beyond it
- Version-compatibility handover so the module can be re-tested and re-deployed when you upgrade your Odoo minor/major version
Who this is for
HR Manager at a UAE SME
Runs monthly payroll for 30–300 staff and is personally responsible for on-time WPS submission and MOHRE compliance. Needs to stop juggling bank spreadsheets and generate a validated SIF, payslips and expiry alerts from one place inside Odoo.
Finance Controller / CFO
Owns cost accuracy and the general ledger. Wants payroll, WPS clearing and end-of-service gratuity provisions posted to Odoo Accounting automatically, with an auditable gross-to-net trail per employee and per entity — no reconciliation surprises at month-end.
Odoo Gold/Silver Partner or implementer
Delivering Odoo to UAE clients and needs a reliable, source-available UAE payroll localization to include in the rollout, rather than building WPS and EOSB logic from scratch or gambling on an unmaintained third-party app.
Payroll / PRO officer at a multi-entity group
Handles several UAE establishments with different MOL IDs and bank agents. Needs record-rule-isolated payroll per entity, visa/Emirates ID renewal tracking and Emiratisation figures ready for MOHRE reporting.
How UAE Payroll & WPS SIF Generator Compares
| Criterion | ECOSIRE | Custom Build | Competitor | Odoo Native |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| UAE WPS SIF (.txt/.csv) generation for MOHRE | Built to your exact bank/agent SIF spec, validated before export | Possible but you build and maintain the format logic yourself | Sometimes included, but tied to a fixed bank layout you can't change | Not included |
| End-of-service gratuity (EOSB) per UAE Labour Law | Auto-calculated (21/30 days, pro-rata, resign vs terminate) via @api.depends | Hand-coded rules you must keep aligned with the law | Partial support | Not included |
| AED salary structures, allowances & deductions | Configured to your actual pay policy on Odoo's salary-rule engine | Built from scratch on the generic engine | Included | Partial support |
| Visa / labour card / Emirates ID expiry alerts | Computed days-to-expiry + automated actions/cron notifications | You add fields and server actions yourself | Partial support | Not included |
| Emiratisation / Tawteen reporting fields | National flags, ratios and pivot views ready for MOHRE points | Add and report on custom fields yourself | Not included | Not included |
| Source code ownership & no-patch install | Full source handed over; installs as a clean add-on, no core patches | You own it because you wrote it | Often obfuscated/licensed; upgrades depend on the vendor | Included |
| Fit to your multi-entity UAE setup & approval flow | Scoped to your entities, WPS credentials and workflow | Whatever you have time to build | One-size-fits-all; limited fit | Partial support |
| Odoo 17 / 18 / 19 support with upgrade path | Built for your version + optional re-test on upgrade | You port it each upgrade | Depends on vendor keeping the app current | Included |
| Implementation, training & support included | Scoping, install, docs, training and a support window included | Your team's time only | Usually download-only; support is extra or forum-based | Not included |
Frequently Asked Questions about UAE Payroll & WPS SIF Generator
How long until it's live, and what's the delivery process?
This is a build-to-order module, not an instant download. Typical lead time is one working week from purchase, depending on how many salary structures, entities and WPS bank formats you need. The flow is: scoping session → development on your Odoo version → installation and configuration on a staging/copy instance → a validated test SIF reconciled to your totals → go-live on production and team training. If you have a MOHRE or bank deadline, tell us up front and we'll prioritize the critical path.
What support and updates do I get after delivery?
Every build includes a post-launch support window (two weeks) covering bug fixes and adjustments within the delivered scope. Because you receive the full source code, nothing is locked to us. Beyond the initial window we offer optional ongoing support/AMC — including re-testing and re-deploying the module when you upgrade your Odoo version (17→18→19) or when MOHRE/WPS specifications change. UAE labour-law or SIF-format updates that affect the module are handled as scoped update work under your support plan.
Does Odoo not already do UAE payroll and WPS out of the box?
No. Odoo core (Community or Enterprise) provides a generic payroll engine — salary rules, contracts, payslips — but it ships no UAE localization: no WPS SIF exporter, no EOSB gratuity engine per UAE Labour Law, and no visa/Emirates ID/Emiratisation tracking. Odoo Enterprise adds some country payroll packs, but the UAE WPS SIF and end-of-service logic still have to be built. This module adds exactly that layer on top of Odoo's payroll, without patching core files.
Will the generated SIF file be accepted by my bank and MOHRE?
Yes — that's the point of the build-to-order approach. Banks and exchange houses use slightly different WPS SIF layouts, so during scoping we map the exporter to your specific bank/agent specification (EDR and SCR records, routing codes, salary period, totals). Before go-live we produce a sample SIF from real data and reconcile it to your expected figures so you upload with confidence.
Which Odoo versions and editions does it support, and does it work with multiple companies?
It supports Odoo 17, 18 and 19 on both Community and Enterprise — we build against your running version. Multi-company/multi-entity is supported: each UAE establishment can hold its own WPS credentials (MOL ID, bank agent) with data isolation enforced through ir.model.access.csv and record rules, while sharing a single Odoo database and chart of accounts.
Can payroll post to accounting and connect to our other systems?
Yes. Payroll runs post journal entries into Odoo Accounting automatically — salary expense, WPS clearing and EOSB provisions — so finance sees payroll in the general ledger. If you need to push or pull data from external HR, time-tracking or banking systems, the module's data is available through Odoo's standard XML-RPC/JSON-RPC API, and we can build specific integrations as part of the scope.
