A Workforce Management Platform for the UAE Non-Desk Workforce
Attendance, shifts, leave, end-of-service, document expiry, and WPS-ready exports — in one platform built for UAE multi-site teams. AiyaHR handles the operational layer of HR for staff who don't sit at desks.
Mobile-first · Multi-site · WPS-ready · PDPL-aligned · Free up to 10 staff
A UAE HRMS for the operational layer, not just the org chart
Most HRMS tools are good at the org chart and weak at the operational reality — sites, shifts, daily presence, working-hour evidence for inspection. For a UAE construction firm, security operation, healthcare provider, or any multi-site team, the org chart is the easy part. AiyaHR is the HRMS for everything below it: verified attendance from a phone, AI-drafted rosters, multi-level leave approvals, compliance-ready hour records, and clean WPS exports. Mobile-first, PDPL-aligned, free to start.
Face-verified attendance
Live selfie matched against the enrolled face on every check-in. Stops buddy-punching without shared scanners.
GPS geofencing per site
A geofence per site, branch, or post. Out-of-zone check-ins are flagged automatically.
AI shift scheduling
Describe a shift in plain English; AI drafts the weekly grid with the UAE Labour Law check built in.
Leave & approvals
Multi-level approval workflows for leave, shift swaps, and attendance regularisation.
Multi-site, multi-tenant
One platform across every operational unit; strict role-based access; per-country presets.
Document expiry tracking
Visa, labour card, medical, UAE security industry regulator, Dubai and Abu Dhabi healthcare regulatory — automatic reminders before expiry.
WPS-ready exports + EoS gratuity
Hours, overtime, absences, and end-of-service gratuity export cleanly into your payroll.
UAE compliance, built in
UAE Labour Law working hours (per Federal Decree-Law No. 33 of 2021), UAE PDPL biometric handling, audit-ready retention.
Platform or point solution
Most of these capabilities exist as standalone tools. The case for one platform is not feature count — it is that the useful answers live between the features.
Scheduling is a prediction until attendance confirms it
A roster says who should be there. Without verified check-ins against it, coverage alerts fire on the plan rather than on reality, which is worse than no alert at all.
Payroll accuracy is upstream of payroll
Almost every payroll dispute traces to an attendance or leave exception that was never closed. Holding them in one system means the exception is resolved in the week it happened.
Compliance evidence is one dataset read several ways
Working hours, rest periods and leave are not separate records. Split across tools, producing evidence becomes a reconciliation exercise every single time it is requested.
Integration cost is permanent, not one-off
Point solutions connected by exports need maintaining every time either side changes. That cost is invisible at purchase and recurring afterwards.
The full HR lifecycle for UAE non-desk teams
Onboarding
Bulk import, document checklist with expiry tracking, biometric enrolment with consent capture.
Scheduling
AI drafts rosters; managers approve. Mandatory rest, prayer break, lunch built in.
Daily operations
Phone-based check-in by face + GPS; live dashboard for supervisors; anomalies surface for review.
Leave & exceptions
Multi-level approval workflows; AI suggestions speed routine decisions, humans confirm.
Payroll feed + reporting
WPS-ready exports; end-of-service gratuity calculation; trend analytics across sites and time.
Built around UAE compliance, not adapted to it
UAE Labour Law
Federal Decree-Law No. 33 of 2021 working-hour rules, end-of-service gratuity, leave entitlements, and rest periods applied throughout.
UAE PDPL
Federal Decree-Law No. 45 of 2021 biometric handling: explicit consent, encrypted storage, configurable retention, data-subject rights through the staff app.
WPS-ready exports
Hours, overtime, and absences export cleanly into your payroll or bank WPS gateway. AiyaHR does not process payroll directly.
Multi-site data isolation
Per-tenant separation across every site or branch. A site supervisor cannot accidentally see another site's staff.
