Platform

The platform

Practical HR operations.
Built for growing UAE teams.


ZaitoonHR brings employee records, onboarding, leave, attendance, payroll preparation, WPS support, and compliance monitoring into one role-based portal for UAE businesses.

Connected workflows. One operating view.

Start with the workflows your team needs now. Employee, leave, attendance, payroll, document, and reporting data stay connected so HR and managers work from the same operating record.

Employee records

Maintain one structured record for each employee, including employment details, documents, visa and identity dates, contract history, and HR notes.

  • Centralised employee profiles with document storage
  • Visa, passport, Emirates ID, and document-expiry tracking
  • Contract history and amendment log
  • Configurable fields for agreed business requirements
  • Employee self-service through role-based portal access

Onboarding

Give HR, managers, and new hires a visible onboarding checklist from accepted offer through joining, with responsibilities and document status kept in one place.

  • Customisable onboarding checklists by role or department
  • Task assignment to HR, managers, and agreed process owners
  • Document collection and status tracking
  • Standard onboarding communication templates

Leave & attendance

Employees can submit leave through a mobile-ready portal, managers can approve within their role, and HR can maintain balances, policies, rosters, and attendance records in one workflow.

  • Self-service leave requests with manager approval workflow
  • Configurable balance rules for supported UAE leave types
  • UAE public-holiday calendar maintained through controlled configuration
  • Leave policy configuration by contract type

Payroll

Prepare monthly payroll through a controlled workflow covering salary components, approved adjustments, payslips, and WPS SIF preparation. HR retains review and approval responsibility before bank submission.

  • Automatic basic/allowance split calculation
  • WPS SIF preparation and validation support for bank submission
  • End-of-service estimate and settlement support using configured UAE rules
  • Pay-slip generation and employee self-service access

Emiratisation tracking

Track Emirati headcount, skilled-role data, applicable targets, and hiring activity in a dedicated operational view. HR can review the underlying records before acting on the reported gap.

  • Quota-support calculations using configured company and workforce data
  • Headcount mapping for Emirati employees in supported skilled roles
  • Gap analysis with deadline visibility
  • Hiring plan tracker — roles in pipeline, offers out, starts confirmed
  • Supporting records and review history for internal follow-up
  • Quarterly review reminders

Performance management

Run focused review cycles with objectives, manager and employee inputs, and a visible review history. Configuration is tailored to the process agreed during implementation.

  • Configurable review cycles (annual, half-yearly, quarterly)
  • KPI and objective frameworks with progress tracking
  • Manager and self-assessment forms — short, focused, editable
  • Manager and HR review views for comparing outcomes
  • Performance improvement plan (PIP) templates and tracking
  • Review history per employee

Documents & policies

Generate standard HR letters and agreed document templates using approved employee data. Final wording and legal suitability remain subject to the employer’s review.

  • Controlled templates for agreed letters, offers, NOCs, and certificates
  • Auto-fill from employee profile data
  • Generated-document review and approval support
  • Template and generated-document history
  • Policy and document acknowledgement tracking where configured
  • Bulk document generation for onboarding batches

Reports & dashboards

Review current operational summaries for headcount, leave, payroll, compliance, and workforce activity. Available views depend on the modules and data configured for your rollout.

  • Pre-built dashboards for common HR metrics
  • Filter and export supported views by available workforce fields
  • Repeatable management-reporting workflow
  • Export to Excel/PDF
  • Period comparisons where the underlying data supports them
  • Management summaries for review and further analysis
Ready reports lead into a genuine aggregate headcount chart — without employee-level data.

Why use a UAE-focused HR platform?

Global platforms can be strong general systems. ZaitoonHR focuses on the operational details UAE teams repeatedly need, with local implementation support and workflows configured around the employing entity.

General-purpose HR platforms

  • UAE-specific workflows may require additional configuration or partners
  • WPS preparation may sit outside the core workflow
  • Emiratisation often relies on separate tracking
  • End-of-service handling may require local configuration
  • Local implementation support may vary

Zaitoon HR

  • Configured UAE rules support HR review and calculation workflows
  • WPS SIF preparation sits inside the payroll workflow
  • Emiratisation tracking has a dedicated operational view
  • End-of-service estimates use configured rules and approved data
  • Implementation and support operate in Gulf Standard Time

Role-based access and accountable operations.

Access, responsibilities, and data-handling arrangements are agreed during implementation and tested before go-live.

  • ZaitoonHR-managed infrastructure; employee access does not require company email accounts
  • Role-based access for employees, managers, HR, administrators, and authorised specialist roles
  • Activity logging for controlled workflows, supported by implementation-time access testing
  • Backup, recovery, retention, and support procedures agreed as part of implementation

Pricing

ZaitoonHR uses a clear subscription and one-time implementation scope based on team size, selected workflows, and rollout requirements.

Selected design partners may receive preferred implementation terms in return for structured product feedback and an agreed reference arrangement.
