How AttendUX payroll automation works

Register one entity per country

Group HQ registers one AttendUX entity per country (e.g., GroupCo Egypt, GroupCo UAE, GroupCo Saudi). Each gets its correct labor-law + currency + tax config auto-applied.

Employees grouped by entity country

Each employee belongs to one country entity. Their contracts follow that country's law. Group-level reports aggregate across entities; country-level reports stay accurate to local regulations.

Monthly payroll runs per country entity

On payroll close day, each entity runs its monthly cycle — attendance → OT calc → deductions (social insurance, tax) → net salaries → bank export in local WPS/CSV format.

WPS export to local payroll bank

UAE: native MOHRE SIF to FAB/ADCB/Mashreq. Saudi: native Mudad via SAMA. Qatar/Kuwait/Iraq: WPS-compliant CSV uploaded via your commercial bank's portal. One-click per entity.

Group dashboard consolidates results

Group HR director + CFO see consolidated monthly cost (in USD/EUR/EGP reporting currency), nationality mix, Saudization/Qatarization/Kuwaitization ratios per entity, employee headcount trends. Audit trail immutable.

Who uses AttendUX payroll automation

MENA holding groups with subsidiaries in 3-6 countries (e.g., Egyptian conglomerate with Saudi + UAE + Qatar arms) — one HR system, local payroll compliance, group consolidated reporting.
Regional construction + hospitality chains operating across Gulf (Saudi + UAE + Qatar + Kuwait) — same employee can transfer between entities, visa changes update automatically, cross-border staff moves tracked.
Egyptian export + import firms with Saudi or Gulf sales offices — small MENA satellite office doesn\'t need its own HR system, folds into Egypt entity with correct Saudi/UAE compliance.
Family businesses expanding regionally — Egyptian F&B group opening in Saudi/UAE gets ready-made Saudi/UAE compliance in days, not months of consultant setup.
International groups entering MENA — US/EU parent with MENA JV uses AttendUX to handle local compliance while parent-company reports in USD/EUR.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can AttendUX handle payroll for group companies across multiple MENA countries?

Yes. Group HQ creates one entity per country (Egypt, Saudi, UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, Iraq). Each entity gets its correct labor-law + social-insurance + tax + WPS format pre-configured. Employees assigned to one entity follow that country's law. Group dashboard aggregates across entities; each entity's payroll stays compliant to its local country.

Which MENA countries have native WPS integration?

Native (automated SIF/platform submission): UAE (MOHRE WPS SIF format) and Saudi Arabia (Mudad WPS platform). WPS-compliant CSV exports for manual bank submission: Qatar, Kuwait, Iraq. We ship UAE + Saudi natively; the other three export in bank-ready format but require you to upload to your bank's portal manually.

Does AttendUX handle multi-currency for MENA group companies?

Yes. Each entity pays in its local currency (EGP Egypt, SAR Saudi, AED UAE, QAR Qatar, KWD Kuwait, IQD+USD Iraq dual). Group-level consolidated reporting rolls up to your chosen reporting currency (USD, EUR, EGP). FX rate configurable per period for consolidation.

How does AttendUX calculate end-of-service for employees transferring between MENA entities?

Each entity tracks service separately per that country's law. If employee leaves Egypt entity and joins UAE entity in the same group, Egypt entity calculates EoS per Egyptian Labor Law 14/2025 and pays out; UAE entity starts fresh service calculation per UAE Federal Law 33/2021. No cross-country service accumulation (consistent with how MENA group HR typically handles this).

How much does AttendUX payroll automation cost for a MENA group?

Priced per employee per year at each entity's local rate: 200-400 EGP/employee/year for Egypt entity, $30-60 for Gulf entities, $18-36 for Iraq/intl. No per-country setup fee, no group-level licensing fee. 7-day free trial per entity.
