Payroll software with WPS for Qatar companies
Run payroll in minutes, not days. Allowances, overtime, loans and deductions calculate automatically, the WPS salary file is ready for your bank, and every employee gets a clear payslip.
Accurate payroll, on time, every month
Paying salaries late in Qatar is not only bad for morale: under the Wage Protection System it is visible to the Ministry of Labour and can lead to penalties. Yet many companies still prepare payroll in Excel, copy figures into a bank template and hope nothing was missed. AxoOne Payroll replaces that with a controlled monthly run.
Attendance, overtime, approved leave, loan instalments and one-off additions flow in automatically. HR reviews exceptions, finance approves, and the system produces the salary register, bank transfer list and WPS salary information file in one step.

Payroll the Qatar way
Qatar's Wage Protection System requires private-sector employers to pay wages through banks in Qatar and to submit a salary information file each month. AxoOne checks for missing QIDs, bank details and zero salaries before the file is created, so it is not rejected.
End-of-service gratuity under the Labour Law is at least three weeks' basic wage for each year of service after one year. AxoOne calculates it automatically, along with leave encashment, ticket entitlement and deductions, for a final settlement you can hand to the employee.

Frequently asked questions

What is WPS in Qatar?
The Wage Protection System is Qatar's electronic salary monitoring system. Employers pay wages through Qatar banks and submit a salary information file (SIF) each month, which lets the Ministry of Labour check that employees are paid in full and on time.
Does AxoOne create the WPS SIF file?
Yes. After you approve payroll, AxoOne generates the SIF file in your bank's required format and checks for common errors such as missing QID numbers or bank details.
How is end-of-service gratuity calculated in Qatar?
Under the Labour Law, an employee with at least one year of service is entitled to gratuity of no less than three weeks' basic wage for each year of service, pro rata for part years. Contracts can grant more. AxoOne calculates this automatically from the employee's basic salary and joining date.
Can I run payroll for several companies?
Yes. Each company keeps its own employer details, bank and WPS file, and you can consolidate reports across the group.
Can employees see their payslips online?
Yes. Payslips are available in the self-service app and can be emailed automatically in Arabic and English.
