Remote Work Attendance Software for UAE & GCC Teams
AITIME tracks hybrid and remote employees with GPS mobile check-in, enforces your WFH policy, and keeps WPS payroll accurate — whether your team is in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, or Riyadh.
Why UAE Companies Choose AITIME for Remote and Hybrid Teams
The shift to hybrid work in the UAE accelerated dramatically after 2020 and has become permanent policy at major organisations including Emaar, Etisalat (e&), du, and companies operating within Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM). Many free zone businesses — particularly in DIFC, Dubai Internet City, and Dubai Media City — have formalised remote-first or hybrid arrangements as part of their employment contracts. The challenge this creates for HR is straightforward but significant: you cannot use a biometric fingerprint terminal to track someone who is working from home in Jumeirah or on a client site in Business Bay.
AITIME replaces the office biometric with GPS-verified mobile attendance. Your remote and hybrid employees open the AITIME app on their smartphone and tap clock-in. The app records their GPS coordinates at that exact moment — not an approximated location, but a precise coordinate that is stored against their attendance record. When a manager or HR reviews the record, they can see where each employee was when they started their day. This is not about surveillance — it is about creating the verified attendance record that WPS compliance requires, without asking employees to physically visit an office just to punch in.
For companies with GCC-distributed workforces — consultants based in Riyadh, account managers in Doha, regional managers in Kuwait — AITIME handles multi-country attendance in a single account. Each country\'s employees are configured with their local working week, local holidays, and the correct payroll currency where applicable. UAE-based HR retains central visibility and can generate consolidated reports across the entire GCC team. WPS compliance for the UAE-contracted staff is maintained regardless of where those employees are physically located, because AITIME tracks attendance through GPS check-in rather than device proximity.
Features Built for Remote & Hybrid Workforces
No biometric terminal required. AITIME tracks your distributed UAE team with GPS, policy rules, and WPS-ready payroll.
GPS Mobile Check-In From Anywhere
Remote employees check in using the AITIME mobile app from their home, a client site, or a co-working space anywhere in the UAE or GCC. GPS coordinates are logged at every punch, giving HR verifiable location records without a biometric device.
Hybrid Policy Configuration
Configure how many days per week each employee is expected in the office versus working remotely. AITIME tracks office days and WFH days separately, flags policy violations automatically, and gives managers a weekly hybrid compliance summary.
WFH vs Office Attendance Reports
See at a glance how many days each team member worked from home versus the office in any given week or month. Ideal for post-COVID hybrid policies at organisations like Emaar, Etisalat (e&), and Abu Dhabi Global Market companies.
Consultant & Client-Site Tracking
Consultants and client-facing staff rarely work from a fixed location. AITIME lets them check in from any location while managers see where they were — whether at the client's Dubai Media City office or working remotely from Riyadh.
WPS Payroll for Remote Employees
Remote workers in the UAE are still subject to WPS requirements. AITIME calculates pay from GPS-verified attendance data and generates SIF files for every employee — whether they are physically in the office or working from home.
GCC Multi-Country Team Support
Companies with staff based in Saudi Arabia, Qatar, or other GCC countries can manage all attendance in one AITIME account. Each country's employees are configured with their local working week and holiday calendar, while UAE-based HR retains central visibility.
See Your Entire Hybrid Team — Wherever They Are
Office check-ins, GPS mobile punches, and WFH logs all appear in the same dashboard. Know your team's status in real time without a single phone call.
How AITIME Works for Remote Teams
Configure Your Hybrid Policy
Define your organisation's remote work policy in AITIME — how many office days are required, which days are flexible, and which roles are fully remote. This becomes the baseline against which every employee's attendance is measured.
Employees Clock In via Mobile
Remote and hybrid employees download the AITIME app and clock in each day with a single tap. The app records their GPS location automatically. Office employees continue using the existing biometric terminal — both feed the same dashboard.
Monitor Compliance and Run Payroll
HR reviews hybrid compliance reports weekly and approves timesheets. At month-end, GPS-verified attendance data generates the WPS payroll file — covering every employee, remote or in-office, in a single export.

People Also Ask
How does AITIME track attendance for UAE employees working from home?+
AITIME replaces the office biometric device with GPS-verified mobile check-in. Employees open the AITIME app on their phone and tap clock-in from their home or any other location. The app records their GPS coordinates at that moment, creating a verifiable attendance record. HR can see every employee's check-in location on a map and the data feeds directly into WPS payroll without manual entry.
Can AITIME enforce hybrid work policies for UAE companies?+
Yes. You configure your hybrid policy in AITIME — for example, three office days and two WFH days per week. The system tracks each employee's office versus remote attendance automatically and generates a weekly compliance report. Employees who fall below their required office days are flagged for their manager. This makes hybrid policy management transparent and consistent without requiring daily check-ins between managers and staff.
Is WPS compliance required for remote employees in the UAE?+
Yes. UAE Labour Law and WPS requirements apply to all employees covered by a UAE work permit, regardless of where they physically work. Remote employees — whether working from home in Dubai or from a co-working space in Abu Dhabi — must still be paid through WPS-approved channels on schedule. AITIME calculates their pay from GPS-verified attendance records and generates the SIF file for submission, just as it does for office staff.
How does AITIME handle staff based in Saudi Arabia, Qatar, or other GCC countries?+
AITIME supports multi-country team configurations. GCC-based employees are set up with their local working week — for example, Saudi Arabia follows a Sunday-to-Thursday working week in many sectors. Each country's public holidays and working hour norms can be configured separately. UAE-based HR managers see all attendance, including GCC-based staff, in a single consolidated dashboard and can generate payroll reports per country.
What do ADGM and Dubai free zone companies need for remote work attendance?+
Companies registered in Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM), Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC), or other UAE free zones with remote-first or hybrid workforces need attendance records that satisfy both their free zone authority requirements and UAE Labour Law WPS obligations. AITIME provides GPS-verified attendance logs that satisfy audit requirements, WPS-compliant payroll exports, and configurable leave policies that align with free zone employment contracts.
