OPS will carefully examine your internal job descriptions and compare them with salary benchmarking data specific to your business, industry, and Middle Eastern location. Salary surveys are crucial to making informed decisions, but we also leave room for flexibility. This way, your salary determinations are based on the full story, including the individual’s performance and experience.

• Are your employees happy with their pay?
• Are your talent attraction and retention rates declining?
• Are you losing top performers to your competitors?
• Are you prepared for disasters and economic slowdowns?
• Are you adhering to compensation and benefits laws?

We can restructure your compensation and benefits strategy to boost your competitiveness and sustainability.

• Your payroll policies and procedures are the backbones of your payroll operation. They are instrumental in maintaining compliance and keeping your payroll staff and employees at all levels of the organization on the same page. If your payroll policies and procedures aren’t properly established, then inconsistency, confusion, turmoil, and noncompliance are likely.

  At OPS, we excel at building, implementing, and maintaining payroll policies and procedures for businesses in the Middle East. We also help enforce them.

• Through payroll mapping, you can visualise your payroll practices and their impact on your business processes. For instance, you can see details of employees’ pay, actions taken during payroll processing, who took those actions, and who is responsible for specific payroll duties.

  As your payroll consultant, we will demonstrate (via mapping) sequences in your payroll process, vulnerabilities in your payroll system, and tactics to overcome threats.

• Payroll is an essential business function for employers of all sizes. However, managing payroll successfully takes time, expertise, and the ability to stay compliant — hence the need for a compliance advocate.

  A compliance advocate hunkers down with you to find the ideal payroll solutions for your business. It serves as your anchor — revealing your blind spots to steer you on the straight and narrow. This compliance advocate comes in the form of a payroll audit.

  To err is human. Therefore, payroll blunders are a real possibility. The trick is to keep errors to a minimum by mobilizing your compliance advocate — aka payroll audit. This enables you to promptly catch and fix payroll mistakes.

  A payroll audit scrutinizes your payroll practices to detect existing and potential areas of noncompliance. It also helps you identify payroll best practices, establish payroll internal controls, and maintain up-to-date financial records.

  You can have a competent member of your staff conduct your payroll audits. Or, you may team up with a reputable third party — such as OPS — who can carry out an objective, unbiased, and thorough audit of your company’s payroll.
