What is HR and payroll software for UAE businesses?
HR and payroll software connects employee records, attendance, leave, salary processing, WPS/SIF files, gratuity and employee self-service in one platform. HRX360 is designed around UAE workflows, helping HR and finance teams move information from attendance and approved leave into controlled payroll processing without repeatedly entering the same data. Core HR starts from AED 6 per employee/month, while the Professional plan with UAE payroll, WPS/SIF and gratuity starts from AED 10 — with volume pricing available for growing teams (50+ employees).
Why UAE companies are replacing separate HR tools and Excel payroll
Every month, the same chain breaks: attendance lives in a device or spreadsheet, leave lives in email, and payroll lives in Excel. Someone re-types all three into a salary sheet, generates a SIF file by hand, and hopes nothing was missed. One wrong absence entry means a wrong salary; a missed visa renewal means a fine; a mis-formatted SIF means the bank rejects the whole salary run.
Payroll errors from manual re-entry
Attendance and leave never quite match the salary sheet.
WPS/SIF stress
Hand-built SIF files get rejected; salaries arrive late.
Document expiry risk
Visas, Emirates IDs and labour cards expire unnoticed.
No single picture
Owners can't see headcount, cost or leave liability without asking three people.
HRX360 connects the whole chain in one controlled workflow: punch → attendance → leave-aware days worked → payroll run → WPS/SIF file → payslip.

Who HRX360 is best for
Best for UAE SMEs (10–500 staff)
moving off Excel or a first-generation tool
Best for Schools & nurseries
includes the School Edition staff-compliance suite
Best for Construction & site teams
geo-tagged mobile punch + biometric sync
Best for Restaurants & cafes
shifts, multi-outlet attendance
Best for finance-led buyers who need payroll they can audit, not just an HR app.
Honest fit note: If you need a global enterprise suite across 20 countries, or deep recruitment/ATS modules, HRX360 isn't built for that. It's built for UAE companies that want HR and payroll done properly in one place.
