What integrated attendance and payroll actually means
Attendance software that stops at 'hours worked' is only half the job. UAE payroll depends on rules that spreadsheets get wrong every month: weekday, rest day and public holiday overtime rates; Ramadan working-hour reductions; MOHRE-compliant record keeping; per-employee gratuity accrual against unbroken service. An integrated solution applies these rules automatically at the shift level, so the file your accountant opens on payroll day is already correct, not a starting point for two days of manual work.
What the payroll side of the software does
The features that turn attendance data into a payroll file.
Ramadan hours handled
Shift reductions applied for the Ramadan period without changing the base roster. Reverts automatically after Eid, so nobody forgets.
Public holiday calendar
UAE public holidays maintained centrally and reflected in attendance and overtime. You do not maintain a spreadsheet of dates every year.
Late deductions to policy
Grace periods and late-mark policies configured to your rules, so late arrivals become deductions in the file rather than arguments.
Payroll and WPS SIF export
Export worked hours, overtime and deductions in a format that matches your payroll software columns. The SIF file for WPS submission is built from the same authoritative record.
Full audit trail per employee
Every punch, edit and approval logged with a timestamp and the user who did it. When an employee disputes a deduction, the record settles it.
What integration removes
The two-day monthly retype
Punches flow into the software and the software produces the payroll file. Nothing is retyped from paper into a spreadsheet.
Manual overtime calculation
Overtime is applied to the raw punches by rule, not calculated afresh by the accountant every month. The file lands in payroll with overtime already correct.
Public holiday spreadsheets
The calendar is central and the software reflects it automatically. You do not maintain a list of dates that everyone forgets to update.
Argument about who was late
Every late arrival is a timestamp with a credential. There is nothing to dispute; the record is the record.

Attendance and payroll questions
Do you supply payroll software as well?
Our software focuses on attendance and produces a payroll-ready export in the exact format your payroll process consumes. We integrate with the payroll and HRMS systems most commonly used in the UAE.
Is the export ready for WPS submission?
The export produces worked hours and pay-affecting adjustments (overtime, deductions, absences) in a format that feeds the salary figures used in your WPS SIF file. Your payroll process signs the SIF; we produce the authoritative attendance figures behind it.
How is Ramadan handled?
Reduced Ramadan hours are configured against your workforce and applied automatically during the period, then revert after Eid. You do not adjust the roster manually.
How is UAE Labour Law overtime calculated?
Weekday overtime at 1.25x, rest day and public holiday overtime at your configured multiplier. Daily and weekly caps enforced per employee. Every calculation is logged so a dispute is settled from the record.
What about gratuity accrual?
Attendance records are the input to gratuity calculation but the calculation itself lives in your HR or payroll system. We provide the underlying data (dates worked, absence, service breaks) as an export on request.
