In meeting the pace of varying compliances, evolving markets, and business growth, payroll processing can be complicated, especially if you consider the legal and financial implications.
Every business in Bahrain needs to process the wages of staff members in a timely and accurate manner; however, it’s not a simple task to complete. How would you factor the reimbursements, leaves, loan advances, and other dynamic HR inputs at the same time managing various salary structures? Is your business capable of complying with statutory regulations which are constantly changing while managing all those things? More and more businesses have found that spending time and effort in all that is unreasonable. This is why they seek the help of the payroll specialists of Payroll Middle East.
Bahrain Regulations on the Company Payroll and Employee Wages
Businesses in Bahrain must register with the Wage Protection System and be compliant with all regulations set by the Bahrain Central Bank and Labor Market Regulatory Authority. A business also has to issue payroll cards and streamline salary disbursement for employees.
In Bahrain, although there is no personal income tax, an employee is responsible for 1% of the monthly wage for unemployment insurance. An employee is also required to contribute 6% of the monthly salary for social security.
As for the employer, it has to contribute 9% of the salary of an employee to social security, as well as pay a 3% tax for the employee’s salary.
Choosing to partner with our team of experts will take running payroll and maintaining full compliance off your shoulders. Working with our payroll team can help in dealing with matters that pertain to compliance, which means you will be able to focus on your business operations rather than worry about getting penalized.

How Payroll and HR Solutions Work

If you choose to work with our team, here are some of the steps that are followed when processing company payroll:
- Set up the payroll process with employee and company data, including company payroll bank account(s) and the bank accounts of employees for direct deposit.
- Obtain time card information (hours worked or clock-in and out times) each pay period for making wage calculations.
- Collect information on new employees and provide new hire reporting.
- Confirm hours worked every pay period if they’re paid or unpaid, then calculate gross pay.

- Make deposits to accounts of employees (pay card, direct deposit) and deliver paychecks and/or advice to employees’ homes or the office.
