Common Questions
Payroll in Bahrain, answered.
What is the Wage Protection System (WPS) in Bahrain?
The Wage Protection System is an electronic channel, monitored by the Labour Market Regulatory Authority (LMRA), through which private-sector salaries must be paid so that wages are paid in full and on time. We process your payroll and pay staff through it.
Do you handle GOSI and social insurance submissions?
Yes. We register employees and submit monthly social insurance contributions to the Social Insurance Organization (SIO) for Bahraini and GCC nationals, and work-injury coverage for expatriate staff. The rates are set by the SIO and have been rising in phases, and we apply the current position.
How does end-of-service work in Bahrain now?
Since 1 March 2024, end-of-service benefits for expatriate private-sector employees are funded by monthly employer contributions to the Social Insurance Organization, rather than a lump sum paid by the employer at termination. Service before that date remains under the previous system. We handle the monthly contributions and the accruals.
Can you run payroll for a small team?
Yes. Whether you have a handful of staff or a larger workforce, we run accurate, on-time payroll with the statutory submissions handled, so you do not need to build an in-house payroll function.
Who looks after our payroll?
A senior team member owns the engagement, and you have a named point of contact who knows your business, not a rotating support queue.
