What Gulf HR software must do

5 things an HR system for Dubai should do. We do all five.

Hold nationals and expats together, capture attendance, generate the WPS salary file, accrue end-of-service gratuity, and run payroll across the Gulf and India. 247HRM does all five from a single record.

Hold one workforce

Nationals and expat staff in Dubai sit on one record, so headcount, pay and benefits are never tracked in two systems.

1 record for all staff

Capture attendance

Face, geo and biometric attendance marks staff at the office or site with no new hardware to buy and no vendor lock-in.

0 hardware lock-in

Generate the WPS file

Payroll produces the WPS salary file in UAE bank format, so salaries are paid through the Wage Protection System without a manual sheet.

WPS bank-ready file

Accrue gratuity

End-of-service gratuity is accrued on tenure and last drawn salary, so the provision is always current and final settlement is clean.

Live gratuity provision

Pay across regions

Groups operating across the Gulf and India run payroll in multiple currencies from one platform, with each entity on its own rules.

Nationals and expats, on one record

Nationals and expat staff in Dubai sit on a single employee record, each with the right pay rules and benefits. National pension contributions where they apply, and expat allowances and end-of-service gratuity, all run from one place, so headcount, payroll and compliance never split across two systems.

WPS salary file, in UAE bank format

End-of-service gratuity, accrued live

End-of-service gratuity is accrued every cycle on tenure and last drawn salary, so the provision in your books is always current. When an employee leaves, the final settlement is calculated from the same record, with leave balance and notice handled in one place rather than a year-end scramble.

The cost of fragmented systems

The hidden cost of salary sheets and manual WPS files.

When attendance sits in one device, salaries are built in a spreadsheet, the WPS file is keyed by hand and gratuity is reconciled at year end, the same employee is entered again and again. Errors and disputes follow. Here is the difference 247HRM makes in Dubai.

How it works

HR that lives where your Dubai team actually is.

Three connections do the work: attendance in, payroll computed, WPS and gratuity out.

Manual salary sheetAttendance to WPS

Attendance and payroll, captured once.

Attendance and the WPS payroll file feed a single calculation. As part of Complete HRMS, the Dubai setup shares one employee record, so headcount, wages and the salary file never drift apart across entities.

  • Attendance reused across wages and the WPS file
  • Marks update headcount and overtime in real time
  • Salaries recompute when attendance or pay changes

Gratuity and settlement, without the scramble.

End-of-service gratuity is accrued every cycle on the same record as attendance and pay, so the provision is always current. When someone leaves, the final settlement, leave balance and notice are calculated in one place, and the WPS file for that cycle still ties out.

Why teams in Dubai keep HR on one record.

Verified themes from teams running attendance, WPS payroll and gratuity on 247HRM.

The WPS file used to be a manual sheet we rebuilt every cycle. Now it comes straight out of payroll in the bank format, and uploads first time.

Putting nationals and expats on one record gave us a real headcount, and end-of-service gratuity is finally accrued instead of estimated at exit.

We run entities across the Gulf and India. Having both on one platform, in their own currencies, ended the two-system reconciliation for good.

Questions, answered

Your HR and payroll questions for Dubai, answered.

Does 247HRM generate WPS files and handle gratuity for UAE?
Yes. Payroll produces the WPS salary file in the format your bank needs for the Wage Protection System, and end-of-service gratuity is accrued every cycle on tenure and last drawn salary. Both come from the same employee record, so the salary file and the gratuity provision always tie out for UAE.
Can it run payroll across the Gulf and India on one platform?
Yes. Groups operating across the Gulf and India run payroll in multiple currencies from one platform, with each entity on its own rules. Your Dubai entity, other Gulf entities and your India payroll all share the same system, so there is no second tool to reconcile.
Does it handle both nationals and expat staff?
Nationals and expats sit on a single employee record, each with the right rules. Pension contributions for nationals where they apply, and allowances and end-of-service gratuity for expats, all run from one place rather than two systems.
Is there any personal income tax to deduct?
There is no personal income tax on salaries in UAE, so payroll does not deduct it. The statutory focus is the WPS salary file, end-of-service gratuity and pension contributions for nationals, all of which 247HRM handles from one record.
Does attendance need special biometric hardware?
No. 247HRM captures attendance using face recognition, geo-fencing or biometric methods with no extra hardware to buy and no device lock-in. You are not tied to a single proprietary device vendor in Dubai.
How quickly can we go live in Dubai?
247HRM offers guided implementation, where a product specialist sets up your entities, pay rules, WPS format and gratuity policy and walks your team through a full cycle. The platform scales from 10 to 5,000 and more employees, so the same setup grows with you.
Where these answers come from

Statutory references used across the attendance, payroll and compliance modules:

  • Wage Protection System (WPS) salary file requirements for UAE and the bank upload format.
  • End-of-service gratuity rules based on tenure and last drawn salary under UAE labour law.
  • Pension and social insurance contribution rules for nationals where they apply.
Note: WPS formats, gratuity rules and pension rates follow the current regulations for UAE.
