Handling payroll in Bahrain can feel overwhelming. Between staying compliant with the Wage Protection System (WPS), calculating end-of-service benefits, preparing SIF files, and avoiding legal fines, even a small payroll error can turn into a costly problem. That’s why more Bahrain-based businesses are turning to outsourced payroll services—to save time, reduce risk, and ensure their staff is paid accurately and on time.
At Fama BH, we offer end-to-end payroll processing in Bahrain tailored to your company size, structure, and industry. Whether you have 5 employees or 500, we manage everything from salary calculation and WPS compliance to gratuity management and payslip distribution—so you don’t have to. Our bilingual team works closely with Bahrain’s legal framework, labor laws, and LMRA requirements to ensure your payroll is 100% accurate, confidential, and compliant.
The Wage Protection System (WPS), enforced by the Labour Market Regulatory Authority (LMRA), requires all employers in Bahrain to pay their employees electronically via approved banking systems—and report it to government authorities using a Salary Information File (SIF).
Missing or incorrect payroll submissions can result in:
Hefty fines
Suspension of work permits
Delayed labor approvals or license renewals
We ensure:
Every payroll run follows WPS rules
SIF files are formatted and submitted properly
All employee payments are traceable and LMRA-compliant
Late salary payments, incorrect deductions, or overtime miscalculations can quickly lead to employee dissatisfaction, legal complaints, and labor disputes. In a competitive market like Bahrain, payroll errors damage your brand and morale.
With Fama, your team gets:
Timely, accurate salaries every cycle
Transparent payslips
Proper leave and bonus documentation
This helps you maintain trust and retention, especially among skilled and expat workers.
Payroll is more than a transaction—it’s a relationship. Employees expect:
Clarity in how their salary is calculated
Proper documentation for their records and visa renewals
Timely payments, especially during holidays or Ramadan
We help you:
Avoid payroll stress before salary day
Provide digital or printed payslips
Offer breakdowns of deductions, bonuses, and overtime
When employees know they’re paid fairly and on time, they stay longer and work harder.
In Bahrain, payroll isn’t just a simple gross-to-net formula. You must factor in:
Overtime (daily, weekly, or holiday-based)
Public holiday adjustments
Weekend shifts and night differentials
Monthly vs bi-weekly pay cycles
Bonuses and commissions
Missing a formula or using the wrong rate leads to inaccurate payroll and legal exposure. Our systems automate these calculations based on your HR policies and Bahrain’s labor laws.
Employees accrue leave, sick days, and gratuity every month. Tracking this manually means:
Delayed final settlements
Confusion over leave balances
Overpayment or underpayment of end-of-service dues
We offer automated tracking of:
Annual leave
Sick leave
Gratuity (based on years of service, per Bahrain Labor Law)
This reduces manual errors and gives HR clear visibility into each employee’s entitlements.
Bahrain’s labor regulations evolve frequently—from changes in leave policy to WPS enforcement or minimum wage adjustments. Most business owners and HR managers don’t have the time or legal training to stay updated.
Our team stays on top of:
LMRA announcements
Ministry of Labor regulations
Bank and payment compliance updates
So your payroll stays compliant—without the guesswork.
Every month, we:
Calculate gross salary, deductions, and net pay
Apply overtime, bonuses, leave balances
Generate and format payslips (digital or hardcopy)
Payslips include:
Basic salary and allowances
Overtime, incentives, and bonuses
Deductions (leave, advances, GOSI, etc.)
Net pay in BHD
All payslips are branded with your company’s logo and details, and available in English or Arabic.
We prepare your Salary Information File (SIF) in the exact format required by the WPS system. Then we:
Submit it to your approved bank
Ensure successful salary transfers
Confirm LMRA compliance status post-payment
No more formatting errors, rejected files, or late salary reports.
When an employee resigns, is terminated, or completes their service, we handle:
Final gratuity calculations
Leave encashment
Deductions for notice period or advances
Final payslip and SIF adjustments
This ensures smooth offboarding with zero compliance risk.
Even if you have just 3 to 10 employees, payroll compliance applies. We offer:
Affordable monthly payroll runs
Full WPS support
Leave and salary tracking
Perfect for agencies, consultants, freelancers with staff, and family-run businesses.
As you expand, payroll complexity grows. We help you:
Manage payroll for different locations
Assign cost centers
Create department-wise salary reports
Our SME payroll plans support:
10 to 100 employees
Integration with time-tracking or HR software
Consolidated reports for management
Large firms need enterprise-grade payroll systems. We offer:
Batch uploads and imports from ERP/HRMS
Payroll calendars and approvals
Integration with SAP, Oracle, Zoho People
We handle everything from multi-level approvals to bank coordination, ensuring accurate, compliant, and timely payroll for every department.
The Wage Protection System (WPS) is a digital framework introduced by Bahrain’s Labour Market Regulatory Authority (LMRA) that ensures salaries are paid through secure, trackable bank channels. All private sector employers are required to:
Pay employees through WPS-approved banks
Submit a Salary Information File (SIF) monthly
Maintain accurate payroll records
This system protects employee rights and ensures wage transparency. Non-compliance can result in:
Work permit freezes
Penalties starting at BHD 500
Delays in government approvals
Fama ensures your payroll processes meet all WPS standards and avoids these risks.
We take care of the entire WPS process:
Creating monthly SIF files in the approved format
Uploading to your bank’s WPS portal
Cross-checking successful transactions
Coordinating with LMRA if errors or flags occur
All our processes are synced with LMRA’s system updates to ensure error-free reporting.
If your company is flagged for a payroll compliance audit, we:

Generate LMRA and bank confirmation reports
We also help respond to any inquiries and represent your payroll status professionally to the regulators.
Each month, we deliver a payroll package that includes:
Total salary disbursed

Attendance-based payment calculations
Payroll liabilities (GOSI, gratuity, etc.)
These reports are useful for finance teams, auditors, and management review.
Your employees receive clean, clear payslips that can be:
Emailed securely
Downloaded from a portal
Printed and sealed if required
Each payslip includes:
Basic and gross salary
Allowances
Deductions and net pay
Payment method reference
You can choose between Arabic, English, or bilingual formats.
For audits, visa renewals, or internal HR reviews, we generate:
Employee salary history reports
Monthly SIF files and proof of payment
Gratuity accruals and leave balances
GOSI contribution statements
We handle the data so you’re always one step ahead of auditors or regulators.
We integrate with your time-tracking tools—biometric scanners, mobile apps, or software like Zoho People or HRM systems—to automate:
Overtime rates (weekend, public holidays)
Absence deductions
Half-day or short-leave flags
This removes the need for manual entry and eliminates errors.
Got a fingerprint scanner or swipe card system? We’ll pull attendance logs and map them to payroll records, saving HR hours of manual calculations.
We can also handle:
Mobile punch-ins for remote staff
QR code or GPS-tagged attendance
Multiple shifts and break deductions
Payroll errors usually happen when too many hands touch too many spreadsheets. Our integrated system streamlines:
Data collection
Validation
Payroll approvals
You get error-free, consistent, and audit-traceable payroll—every single cycle.
Every employee has a unique leave balance. We:
Monitor accruals based on policy
Update balances automatically
Show remaining leaves on payslips
Alert HR when limits are reached
This ensures fairness and transparency for employees, and fewer disputes for HR.
When employees take paid leave or exit the company, we calculate:
Pro-rated leave salaries

Unused vacation payouts
This amount is included in payroll or final settlement, with full documentation.
End-of-service gratuity is mandatory under Bahrain’s labor code. We:
Track years of service
