The employee being visited receives a WhatsApp or email notification when their guest checks in β€” with visitor details and a photo.

Regional Coverage

Visitor & Contractor Attendancefor UAE, GCC & African Businesses

Businesses across the UAE β€” from construction contractors in Dubai to hospital networks in Abu Dhabi and retail chains in Sharjah β€” rely on visitor & contractor attendance to manage their workforce compliance. With UAE's Ministry of Labour (MOL) requiring accurate attendance records and the Wages Protection System (WPS) mandating verified payroll data, manual tracking is no longer an option for any serious business operating in the Emirates.

In Saudi Arabia, companies in Riyadh, Jeddah, and Mecca face additional compliance requirements through Mudad payroll integration and GOSI social insurance contributions. Our visitor & contractor attendance solution handles all of these automatically β€” including Hijri calendar configurations, Eid public holiday rules, and Saudi Labour Law overtime calculations that differ from UAE's framework.

Qatar-based businesses in Doha and Al Rayyan benefit from LMRA-aligned attendance records and WPS-equivalent payroll exports. Bahrain's SIO contribution tracking, Kuwait's MOL requirements, and Oman's OCCI-aligned compliance are all pre-configured in the platform, so companies expanding across the GCC don't need separate systems for each country.

Across Africa β€” in Nairobi, Lagos, Accra, Dar es Salaam, and Kampala β€” our visitor & contractor attendance platform supports multi-currency payroll, local labour law configurations, and offline attendance recording for workers in areas with unreliable internet. African businesses processing payroll in Kenyan Shillings, Nigerian Naira, or Ghanaian Cedi can use the same unified platform as their GCC counterparts.
