Zoho People UAE – HR Management Software Dubai
Streamline your human resource operations with Zoho People — a cloud-based HR management system that handles everything from employee onboarding and attendance tracking to performance appraisals and leave management. Elite Tech UAE configures Zoho People to meet UAE labor law requirements, including WPS compliance and gratuity calculations.
Modern HR Management for UAE Organizations
Managing human resources in the UAE involves navigating specific labor regulations, multi-national workforces, and compliance requirements like the Wage Protection System (WPS). Zoho People provides a centralized platform where HR teams can manage employee records, automate routine tasks, and ensure compliance — all while giving employees self-service access to their own information.
Comprehensive HR Management Capabilities
Employee Database
Maintain a centralized, secure database of all employee information including personal details, employment history, visa and work permit data, documents, and emergency contacts. Custom fields allow you to capture UAE-specific data such as Emirates ID, labor card numbers, and passport details with expiry tracking.
Attendance & Time Tracking
Track employee attendance through web check-in, mobile app, IP-based restrictions, or integration with biometric devices. Configure shift schedules, overtime rules, and attendance policies that align with UAE labor law provisions regarding working hours and rest periods.
Leave Management
Configure leave types that reflect UAE labor law entitlements — annual leave, sick leave, maternity leave, paternity leave, Hajj leave, and public holidays. Employees request leave through the self-service portal; managers approve or decline with a single click. Leave balances are calculated and updated automatically.
Performance Appraisals
Run structured performance review cycles using customizable appraisal forms, self-assessments, manager evaluations, and 360-degree feedback. Set goals and key result areas (KRAs) for each employee, track progress throughout the review period, and generate performance reports to inform compensation and development decisions.
Timesheets
Employees can log time against projects, clients, or tasks. Timesheets support daily and weekly entry, approval workflows, and integration with Zoho Projects and Zoho Invoice for client billing. This is particularly valuable for professional services firms and consultancies operating in the UAE.
Employee Self-Service Portal
Empower employees to view their profiles, apply for leave, check attendance records, submit timesheets, access company policies, and update personal information — all without burdening the HR team. The self-service portal is accessible via web browser and the Zoho People mobile app.
UAE Labor Law Compliance
The UAE’s labor regulations, governed by Federal Decree-Law No. 33 of 2021 and its amendments, set specific requirements for working hours, leave entitlements, end-of-service gratuity, and wage protection. Zoho People can be configured to reflect these requirements.
Wage Protection System (WPS): The WPS mandates that employers pay wages through approved channels. While Zoho People itself is not a payroll disbursement system, it maintains the salary records, allowance breakdowns, and employee banking details needed to feed into WPS-compliant payroll processing.
Gratuity Calculation: End-of-service gratuity is a key obligation for UAE employers. Elite Tech UAE can configure custom formulas within Zoho People to calculate gratuity entitlements based on the employee’s length of service and basic salary, following the rules specified in UAE labor law.
Managing a Multi-National Workforce
UAE businesses typically employ people from many different nationalities, each with different visa requirements, document renewal dates, and compliance needs. Zoho People helps HR teams track these details systematically.
Document expiry alerts can be configured for visas, Emirates IDs, labor cards, and passports — ensuring that renewals are initiated well before deadlines. Custom fields and forms capture nationality-specific data, and role-based access controls ensure sensitive employee information is only visible to authorized personnel.
Elite Tech UAE configures Zoho People with UAE-specific templates, leave policies, and compliance workflows so your HR team can focus on strategic initiatives rather than administrative tasks.
