Worked-hours reconciliation to WPS SIF
Every WPS cycle export includes a reconciliation report matching hours to overtime to wages. MOHRE inspectors see the same numbers in your bank and in your attendance system.
UAE compliance
Attendance records built for MOHRE inspection
MOHRE (formerly MOL) inspects workforce records at any time: hours, overtime, rest days, leave, Emiratisation ratios and wage protection. Timesync produces tamper-evident records that satisfy every category, exported in the format MOHRE inspectors accept.
- Tamper-evident hash-chain records
- Emiratisation ratio tracking
- Rest-day and public-holiday enforcement
- MOHRE-format inspection export
What MOHRE actually inspects
MOHRE inspections cover more than just headcount: they check that worked hours match the WPS SIF, that overtime is within the Federal Decree-Law limits, that weekly rest is honoured, that Emiratisation ratios are met for companies above 50 staff, and that end-of-service records reconcile to length of service. Timesync produces one export per category, ready before the inspector asks.
How Timesync covers each MOHRE category
One system, one dataset, seven inspection outputs.
Overtime capped at Federal Decree-Law 33/2021 limits
Maximum 2 hours overtime per day, weekly total not exceeding 60 hours. Overtime automatically flagged if it would exceed either limit; managers approve or the punch is rejected.
Weekly rest day enforced
One full 24-hour rest day per week per employee, encoded in the shift pattern. Violation flagged automatically for HR review.
Public holidays and Ramadan hours
UAE public holidays and reduced Ramadan working hours applied automatically. No manual roster editing each year.
Emiratisation ratio tracking
For companies above 50 employees: real-time Emiratisation ratio dashboard, MOHRE-format monthly report, tracks against the current target (currently 2% per year through 2026).
End-of-service reconciliation
Length of service and days worked feed the gratuity calculation. Report exports in the format your finance team files with the labour contract termination.

MOHRE-compliant attendance questions
What triggers a MOHRE inspection?
Employee complaints, WPS payment failures, random inspections in high-risk sectors (construction, hospitality), and end-of-service disputes are the most common triggers. A ready dataset avoids escalation.
How is the Emiratisation ratio calculated?
Emirati employees divided by total skilled workforce, at the company level. Timesync's dashboard uses your nationality field per employee and calculates the ratio live; the MOHRE-format report can be filed monthly.
What are the current overtime limits under Federal Decree-Law 33/2021?
Maximum 2 hours overtime per day; total working hours (regular + overtime) not exceeding 60 hours per week. Weekly rest is one full 24-hour period. Timesync flags violations before they happen.
Can attendance handle contract-worker rules?
Yes. Contract workers (limited-term contracts under the new decree-law) are a per-employee wage type. Attendance and payroll rules apply per contract type.
How long should attendance records be retained?
MOHRE requires two years minimum for wage records, though we retain ten years by default to cover end-of-service disputes and internal audit. Longer retention available on request.
Do you produce an inspection-ready export?
Yes. A single export bundles: worked hours reconciled to WPS SIF, overtime log, rest-day compliance, Emiratisation ratio, end-of-service summary. Handed over at go-live so your HR lead sees the finished output.
