HR, payroll & attendance software built for Erbil and Kurdistan Region

From $18/employee/year in Kurdistan

From 100 Meter Road corporate offices to Ankawa expat-service district, IOC Kurdistan operators (Genel Energy, DNO, Gulf Keystone, HKN Energy, Rosneft) to international NGOs post-2014 Mosul displacement, Family Mall retail to Erbil Industrial Zone factories — 5 to 500-employee Erbil businesses run AttendUX for Iraq Labor Law 37/2015 compliance (federal baseline), dual IQD/USD payroll (USD-heavy in KRG), WPS-ready salary exports, and offline-capable biometric attendance. Starting from $18/employee/year. Note: Kurdistan Region applies KRG Law 71/2007 in parallel with federal 37/2015 — our generic workweek, holiday and leave config handles KRG-specific overrides; always confirm with your KRG labor counsel.

Why Erbil businesses pick AttendUX

Built around how Erbil businesses actually operate.

Iraq Labor Law 37/2015 + KRG overrides

Federal Iraqi Labor Law No. 37 of 2015 preconfigured (hours, overtime, probation, EOS, 20-30 days annual leave by tenure). KRG Law 71/2007-specific workweek, holiday calendar and leave variations handled via branch-level config overrides. Always validate specific KRG provisions with your labor counsel.

USD-heavy dual-currency payroll

KRG salaries are commonly USD-denominated — even more so than federal Iraq. AttendUX runs USD-primary payroll with IQD side-column for operational expenses, or dual-currency splits per employee. Exchange rate configurable per period.

IOC contractor patterns

Pre-built contract templates for IOC operators (Genel Energy, DNO, Gulf Keystone, HKN Energy, Rosneft) and their subcontractors — rotation shifts (14/14, 28/28), HSE training expiry alerts, contractor-vs-direct employee split tracking for cost allocation.

Offline-capable mobile face attendance

Critical for IOC wellsite + service operations in Kurdistan interior where cellular coverage is intermittent — iOS/Android face + GPS check-in works offline and syncs on reconnection.

Arabic + English UI, Kurdish roadmap

Arabic MSA and English both available per user preference — covers KRG's Arabic-speaking staff and international IOC/NGO workforce. Kurdish Sorani UI is on our 2026 roadmap for native KRG-market deployments.

ZKTeco cloud sync

Existing ZKTeco readers in Erbil offices and worksites connect to AttendUX cloud via ADMS Push — no on-premise agent, 20+ models supported for office + harsh-environment sites.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does AttendUX support Kurdistan Region Law 71/2007?

AttendUX is natively configured for Iraq federal Labor Law No. 37 of 2015 (the baseline). Kurdistan Region Law 71/2007-specific variations — workweek, holiday calendar, specific leave entitlements — are handled via branch-level configuration overrides (you set the KRG workweek and holiday list, and AttendUX applies them to that branch). Always confirm specific KRG provisions with your KRG labor counsel; this is a config layer, not a dedicated KRG-law engine.

Does AttendUX handle USD-heavy KRG payroll?

Yes. KRG businesses commonly pay salaries in USD — even more than federal Iraq. AttendUX supports USD-primary payroll with IQD side-column, or dual-currency per-employee splits (e.g., USD for senior IOC staff, IQD for operational Iraqi hires). Exchange rate is configurable per pay period.

Does AttendUX support IOC rotation shifts (14/14, 28/28)?

Yes. Pre-built rotation templates for 14/14, 21/21 and 28/28 patterns common with Kurdistan IOC operators (Genel Energy, DNO, Gulf Keystone, HKN Energy, Rosneft). Rotation-leave accruals, offset start-dates per crew, HSE training-expiry alerts and contractor-vs-direct employee split tracking all included.

Is Kurdish Sorani UI available?

Not yet. Kurdish Sorani UI is on our 2026 roadmap. Currently all AttendUX interfaces are available in Arabic (MSA) and English per-user preference — which covers most KRG workplaces given the mixed Arabic-speaking + international workforce. Payslips and reports already support bilingual output for KRG.

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

For 50 employees in Erbil/KRG, AttendUX costs approximately $900-$1,800 per year depending on tier — priced in USD since KRG businesses commonly transact in USD. No setup fees, 7-day free trial. Payment via international card, Iraq bank transfer, or regional invoice.
