Education HR does not follow the monthly-office pattern. Teachers work an academic year, not a calendar year. Pay scales differ between teachers, admin, and support staff. Exam weeks need 30-50% more invigilator hours. Substitute teachers get called in by WhatsApp at 6 AM and paid per period. International schools track background-check expiry in addition to teaching credentials. AttendUX handles the whole machine — built from the ground up for K-12 schools, universities, and training centers across MENA.
Built around how Schools & Universities businesses actually operate — not bolted on as an afterthought.
Set your academic calendar (Sep-Jun for most, Aug-May for US international). AttendUX enforces school-day vs weekend/holiday rules, skips mid-term breaks in attendance calculations, and handles summer-school pay separately from regular contracts.
Different scales for teachers (per-period or salaried), admin (monthly), support staff (hourly). AttendUX runs all three in one payroll cycle with the correct bracket per role — no multi-system reconciliation.
Maintain a roster of pre-vetted substitutes. Send a WhatsApp broadcast at 6 AM when a teacher is absent — first to accept gets the slot. Hours auto-roll into payroll at the sub rate, with class/period attribution for the academic record.
Exam weeks need extra invigilators, markers, admin support. Set exam-period rules (e.g. +25% for invigilation, hourly rate for marking over N hours). AttendUX applies them automatically — you set the exam schedule once, payroll follows.
Teaching license, specialty certs (SEND, IB, AP), background check (critical for international schools in Gulf). AttendUX blocks shift auto-approval 30/14 days before expiry — ministry inspections do not catch you off-guard.
Teacher time on parent-teacher conferences, field trips, after-school clubs, exam-board meetings — all logged against the same employee record for accurate compensation. No spreadsheet of extra duties at month-end.
You run a K-12 international school group — 3 campuses in Dubai + Sharjah. 180 teachers, 60 admin, 40 support staff (cleaners, drivers, security). British curriculum, September-June academic year, 3 exam periods per year.
Yes. Local schools (Egyptian national curriculum, Saudi public schools) use Hijri/Gregorian + Ministry of Education payroll rules. International schools (British, American, IB) use their own academic calendars + background-check requirements. Both run on AttendUX with different configuration profiles — same account, different setup per campus.
Maintain a pre-vetted list in HR → Substitutes. When a teacher marks absent (or is marked absent by their admin), AttendUX fires a WhatsApp broadcast to the matching subject teachers in the pool. First to tap "Accept" gets the assignment. Hours auto-roll into payroll at the sub rate with class/period tag for the academic record.
Yes — both are credential fields per employee record. Set 30/14/7-day warning thresholds for each. Expired teaching license auto-blocks clock-in for that teacher until renewed. Expired background check sends immediate escalation to HR (Gulf teaching visas require current checks).
Set exam-period schedules at term start (e.g. "GCSE week 1 June"). AttendUX applies the invigilation premium (+25% default, configurable per role) to clock-ins during the exam schedule automatically. Marking hours tracked separately via a timesheet code; payroll applies the marking rate above the per-period baseline.
