Frequently Asked Questions

Does AttendUX generate MOHRE WPS SIF files for Abu Dhabi companies?

Yes, natively. AttendUX generates monthly WPS Salary Information Files (SIF) in the exact format required by UAE MOHRE and the UAE Central Bank. Upload direct to FAB, ADCB, Mashreq, ADIB, or any licensed WPS bank serving Abu Dhabi — same SIF format as Dubai, applied uniformly across UAE.

Does AttendUX support ADGM Employment Regulations 2019?

Yes. ADGM operates under common-law jurisdiction with its own employment regulations distinct from UAE federal law. AttendUX supports a dual configuration — ADGM-licensed contracts follow ADGM Employment Regulations 2019, onshore contracts follow UAE Federal Law 33/2021, and the system applies the correct rules per employee automatically.

Does AttendUX handle rotation-shift schedules for ADNOC-adjacent oil & gas contractors?

Yes. Rotation shifts (14 days on-site / 14 days leave, 28/28 cycles, custom patterns) are pre-built shift templates. Combined with per-diem allowances, remote-site allowances, and offline-capable mobile biometric, this covers the operational pattern of most oil & gas service contractors working at Barakah, ADNOC facilities, or offshore installations.

How much does AttendUX cost for a 50-employee Abu Dhabi business?

For 50 employees in Abu Dhabi, AttendUX costs approximately $1,500-$2,500 per year depending on tier. No setup fees, no implementation consultants, 7-day free trial. Compare to Gulf competitors typically priced at $3,000-$8,000/year for similar employee count plus implementation.

Can I connect existing ZKTeco devices across KIZAD + mainland Abu Dhabi offices?

Yes, natively via ADMS Push protocol. Multi-site deployments are standard — one AttendUX account handles biometric readers at KIZAD gates, mainland head office, and remote-site workshops simultaneously. 20+ ZKTeco models supported, no local agent, no middleware.
