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.

How Payroll and HR Solutions Work

Our team of payroll specialists processes company payroll by gathering the information of employees (hire date, pay rate, and job title among others), obtaining time card data, making calculations on the pay that is due to every employee, and then paying the exact amount through the issuance of a paper cheque or by direct deposit.

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.
