Every deadline.
Every filing. Handled.
UAE workforce administration has a lot of moving parts — work permits, Emirates ID, medical insurance, MOHRE filings, WPS deadlines, visa renewals, and exit clearance. Each has a deadline. Each missed deadline has a consequence. We track all of them so you don't have to carry the risk.
Under the Vertex sponsorship model, compliance is our responsibility from the first day a worker is deployed to the day they leave. Under the client sponsorship model, we can manage your compliance obligations on your behalf, or advise and support your internal team.

The consequences of getting it wrong.
MOHRE doesn't send reminders. Deadlines pass, fines accrue, and permit blocks affect your ability to hire. These are the most common compliance failures in the UAE construction and industrial sectors.
WPS late payment
Failing to pay salaries via WPS within 10 days of the due date triggers MOHRE monitoring. Persistent violations result in a block on new work permit applications — your site cannot grow until the violation is cleared.
Expired work permits
Workers with expired permits are technically illegal on site. MOHRE inspections on construction sites are routine. An expired permit discovered on inspection results in fines and can trigger a broader compliance audit of your workforce.
Emirates ID delays
Emirates ID must be initiated within 30 days of visa entry. Failure to do so makes the worker unable to access UAE services and creates an administrative backlog that delays payroll, insurance, and site access credentials.
The full compliance stack.
Work permit & visa management
End-to-end work permit processing from initial application through renewal. We track expiry dates and initiate renewals before they become a problem.
- New work permit applications
- Renewals tracked and initiated proactively
- Visa stamping coordination
- Permit transfers (where applicable)
Emirates ID coordination
Emirates ID registration initiated within the required window after visa entry. Renewals tracked for every worker. No expiry goes unmanaged.
- Emirates ID initiation within 30 days of entry
- Biometric appointment coordination
- Renewal tracking and processing
- Lost/damaged card replacement
Medical insurance enrolment
Dubai and Abu Dhabi require employer-provided health insurance for all employees. We enrol workers on entry, manage renewals, and handle claims administration.
- Group health insurance enrolment
- Policy renewals managed
- Worker insurance card distribution
- Claims support
MOHRE filings & labour card
All MOHRE registrations, labour card applications, and statutory filings kept current. We manage the relationship with MOHRE so you don't have to navigate the portal.
- Labour card applications and renewals
- MOHRE registration maintenance
- Statutory filing compliance
- Violation clearance support
Exit management & final settlement
When a worker's engagement ends, exit has to be done correctly. We manage the full off-boarding — settlement calculations, visa cancellation, clearance documentation, and MOHRE sign-off.
- EOSB / gratuity calculation
- Final leave encashment
- Visa cancellation and exit permit
- MOHRE clearance and NOC where required
Accommodation compliance
UAE law sets minimum standards for worker accommodation — room size, facilities, safety. Where Vertex coordinates accommodation, we ensure the facility meets these standards. Where clients provide accommodation, we advise on requirements.
- UAE accommodation standards guidance
- Facility compliance verification
- Inspection preparation support
- Worker welfare documentation
What gets tracked. Every month.
These are the compliance deadlines Vertex monitors for every deployed worker. Missing any one of them creates consequences that take longer to resolve than it takes to track them properly.
