Why Dubai Businesses Choose Our Attendance Software
Dubai is home to over 350,000 registered businesses spanning mainland DED licences and more than 30 free zones — from JAFZA and DAFZA to DIFC, Dubai Internet City, Dubai Media City, Dubai Healthcare City, and Expo City Dubai. Every employer registered with the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MOHRE) must comply with the UAE Wage Protection System (WPS), submitting a Salary Information File (SIF) to their UAE bank every month. Our system generates this file automatically from verified attendance data — eliminating manual payroll reconciliation and costly WPS filing errors that trigger MOHRE penalties.
Dubai's workforce is one of the most diverse in the world. Construction labourers work across EMAAR and DAMAC projects in Downtown Dubai and Dubai Hills; hospitality teams rotate across Jumeirah, Atlantis, and Five Hotels in 24/7 shift patterns; retail staff manage peak hours at Dubai Mall and Mall of the Emirates; logistics drivers cover routes from Jebel Ali Port across the entire emirate; and professional services teams operate from Business Bay, DIFC, and Deira. Our software handles every scenario: biometric terminals at fixed sites, GPS geofencing for mobile field staff, offline punch capture at remote construction sites with no internet, and a unified cloud dashboard where HR approves leave, reviews overtime, and exports payroll without leaving their desk.
Under UAE Federal Decree-Law No. 33 of 2021, employers must maintain accurate attendance records and pay overtime at 125% of the hourly rate for hours beyond the standard working day, and 150% for work performed between 9 PM and 4 AM or on designated rest days. During Ramadan, working hours for Muslim employees are reduced by two hours per day — a rule our system enforces automatically through a Ramadan schedule override. Missing these rules exposes companies to MOHRE fines and employee disputes. Our software calculates every scenario correctly and produces audit-ready reports for Labour inspections.
For companies operating across multiple sites — a head office in DIFC, a warehouse in Jebel Ali, and field teams across Dubai — multi-branch visibility is essential. Our dashboard aggregates real-time attendance from all locations into one screen. Branch managers see their own sites; senior HR sees everything. Reports are filterable by department, shift, nationality, or cost centre — giving finance teams the data they need for accurate project costing and budgeting.

People Also Ask
What is the best time attendance software for Dubai companies?+
Our Time Attendance System is purpose-built for Dubai — it connects to ZKTeco and Hikvision biometric terminals, generates WPS-compliant SIF files for UAE Central Bank submission, supports all Dubai free zones (JAFZA, DIFC, DAFZA, Dubai Internet City), and gives HR managers a real-time dashboard across all sites. Trusted by 200+ Dubai businesses across construction, hospitality, retail, and logistics.
Is WPS payroll mandatory for Dubai companies?+
Yes. All Dubai employers registered with MOHRE and employing staff under UAE Labour Law must pay salaries through the Wage Protection System (WPS) each month. Failure to comply results in fines, work permit bans, and MOHRE penalties that can freeze your trade licence. Our system generates the required SIF file automatically from attendance data — eliminating manual errors.
Does the software support Dubai free zone companies?+
Yes. We support all Dubai free zones including JAFZA, DIFC, DAFZA, Dubai Internet City, Dubai Media City, Dubai Healthcare City, TECOM, DMCC, and Expo City Dubai. Free zone companies have their own WPS and payroll reporting requirements — our system formats exports to match each free zone authority's specifications.
How does overtime work for Dubai employees under UAE Labour Law?+
Dubai employees working beyond 8 hours per day or 48 hours per week are entitled to overtime at 125% of their hourly rate. Work between 9 PM and 4 AM, or on rest days, is paid at 150%. During Ramadan, working hours for Muslim employees are reduced by 2 hours per day. Our software calculates all scenarios automatically and flags violations before payroll is processed.
Can I track attendance for construction sites in Dubai?+
Yes. Dubai construction sites use GPS geofencing to verify workers are on-site before allowing a punch. Biometric ZKTeco terminals also work at site entrances. Offline attendance is captured when internet is unavailable and syncs automatically when connectivity returns — critical for remote Dubai construction sites in areas like Dubai South, Al Quoz, and Jebel Ali.
How much does time attendance software cost in Dubai?+
Pricing starts at AED 15 per employee per month for small Dubai businesses, with Business and Enterprise plans available for larger organisations. All plans include WPS payroll exports, biometric device integration, leave management, and 24/7 support. There are no large upfront costs or installation fees.
