United Arab Emirates
HR and payroll compliance in the UAE
Orvo HCM keeps each country's rules out of its core, in a country pack. Here is what works for companies in the UAE today, and what a pack for the UAE is designed to cover.
Available today in the UAE
Employee records for every company
One record per person from hire to exit, for each company you run in the UAE and abroad, each company with its own base currency, such as AED.
Sites in every emirate
Each establishment keeps its emirate, free zone, and time zone, so rules that depend on where people work can follow the site, not the head office.
Biometric attendance
ZKTeco fingerprint and face devices send punches to the cloud, or through an on-site gateway that holds them until they are safely received.
Leave and approvals
Leave types, balances, and requests on web and mobile, approved by the right people in order, with every decision kept on record.
What a country pack for the UAE is designed to cover
Payroll for the UAE depends on its country pack. Gulf packs follow the Pakistan pack, and each is designed to cover:
Wage Protection System
Salary files in the format the WPS of the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation accepts, with each submission tracked.
End-of-service gratuity
Gratuity accrued each month and paid on exit, as the UAE's labour law sets it.
Pensions for nationals
Contributions to the pension scheme that covers each Emirati employee.
Emiratisation
Your standing against the Emiratisation targets that apply to your company, with alerts before a threshold.
Work permits and residence visas
Each foreign employee's work permit and residence visa, with expiry dates tracked.
Free zone rules
Companies in free zones such as DIFC and ADGM following the employment rules of their own zone.
Every rate, ceiling, and threshold will be entered from official sources and checked by payroll advisers before it is used. None will be guessed.
