WPS
نظام حماية الأجور
📖 Definition
Wage Protection System (WPS) is a Saudi Ministry of Human Resources initiative requiring employers to pay salaries through approved banks. Ensures timely, documented wage payments.
In everyday Saudi accounting work, wps matters because it affects invoice accuracy, financial reporting, tax filing, or ZATCA compliance depending on the transaction.
📖 التعريف بالعربية
نظام حماية الأجور هو مبادرة من وزارة الموارد البشرية السعودية تُلزم أصحاب العمل بدفع الرواتب عبر البنوك المعتمدة. يضمن دفع الأجور في الوقت المحدد وبشكل موثق.
💡 Example
All employee salaries must be paid through WPS-compliant bank transfers by the 7th of each month.
يجب دفع جميع رواتب الموظفين عبر تحويلات بنكية متوافقة مع نظام حماية الأجور بحلول اليوم السابع من كل شهر.

Reports
Map it to the right account, tax field, or compliance report to avoid reconciliation gaps.
Compliance
Keep the Arabic and English meaning aligned when working with auditors, ZATCA, or customers.
