The Challenges of DEWS Management

Managing DEWS involves several complex tasks:

Tracking Probation Periods: Ensuring contributions are accurately calculated and recorded from the date of joining.
Calculating Varied Contributions: Adjusting contributions based on the length of service and salary changes.
Currency Conversions: Managing contributions in USD, which involves constant monitoring of exchange rates.
Portal Management: Regularly logging into the DEWS portal to upload files and fix any errors that arise.
Timely Submissions and Payments: Meeting the deadline of the 21st of the month following the payroll cycle to avoid penalties.

All these actions bring room for mistakes as they are not centralized or linked.

Managing DEWS is quite a task for HR professionals in Dubai. They need to track new hires under probation, calculate their contributions and add them after probation, convert amounts to USD, and exclude UAE locals and GCC nationals on pension schemes.
