The function also saw more value coming in with the launch of the revamped Smart Pay website, which has now become sleeker and more interactive. These two new introductions, this year, will bring more convenience to Smart Pay clients, right at their desktops.

Smart Pay, the WPS-compliant industry-leading payroll solution, is an initiative of

Smart Pay offers quality payroll solutions to tens of thousands of corporate entities and their employees. It not only helps the clients with easy salary disbursals, but also with compliance to Wages Protection System (WPS), an award-winning initiative from UAE Ministry of Labour and UAE Central Bank.
