Frequently Asked Questions

Does AttendUX generate MOHRE WPS SIF files for Dubai companies?

Yes, natively. AttendUX generates the WPS Salary Information File (SIF) in the exact format required by UAE MOHRE and the UAE Central Bank monthly. You download the SIF, upload it to your WPS bank (Emirates NBD, ADCB, Mashreq, FAB, or any licensed WPS bank), and salaries disburse. Validation runs automatically to catch missing Emirates IDs, labour-card numbers, or decimal formatting before you submit.

Does AttendUX support DIFC Employment Law 2019 in addition to UAE Federal Law 33/2021?

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

Does AttendUX work for Dubai free-zone companies (DMCC, JAFZA, DAFZA)?

Yes. All Dubai free zones are supported out of the box. Free-zone employees still fall under UAE Federal Law 33/2021 for labour matters (with free-zone-specific visa and sponsor configurations), and WPS applies to free-zone salaries just like onshore. AttendUX handles both single-zone and multi-branch (onshore + free zone) setups.

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

For 50 employees in Dubai, AttendUX costs approximately $1,500-$2,500 per year depending on tier (basic HR + attendance, or full HR + payroll + WPS). No setup fees, no implementation consultants, 7-day free trial. Compare that to Gulf competitors typically priced at $3,000-$8,000/year for similar employee count.

Does AttendUX integrate with existing ZKTeco biometric devices in my Dubai office?

Yes, natively via ADMS Push protocol. If your ZKTeco readers are model SpeedFace, SF800, SenseFace, UA300, G3, F18, or 20+ other current models, they connect directly to AttendUX cloud without any local agent install. You just change the device cloud settings to point at AttendUX. Setup typically takes 15 minutes per device.
