Shift scheduling software built for MENA operations

Build any shift pattern your operation needs — single, multi-shift, flexible hours, 14/14 oil-field rotations, split shifts for F&B, overnight for hospitality + logistics, Ramadan reduced hours for Muslim employees. AttendUX enforces maximum working hours per labor law, auto-checks out at shift end, flags coverage gaps before they happen.

Why MENA operators pick AttendUX for shift scheduling

Built around how MENA teams actually manage this day-to-day.

4 shift types natively supported

Single-shift (9-5), multi-shift (same employee works multiple shifts/day), flexible-hours (employee picks start within a window), rotation (14/14, 28/28 cycles for oil & gas).

Auto-checkout at max hours

Prevents accidental overtime clocking. AttendUX enforces maximum working hours per Labor Law — Egyptian 14/2025 (8h), UAE 33/2021 (48/week), Saudi (8h + Ramadan 6h), Qatar/Kuwait similar. Auto-checks out.

Ramadan + overnight + split

Reduced-hours Ramadan rule for Muslim employees (6h/day in most MENA countries). Overnight-shift pay differentials. Split-shift F&B scheduling (morning + evening). All pre-configured.

Mobile schedule view

Employees see their week + month schedule on iOS/Android. Managers assign/edit shifts in bulk. Shift-swap requests between employees with manager approval.

Coverage-gap alerts

Builds a visual coverage map — understaffed hours flagged red, overstaffed yellow. Alerts before a shift starts if a critical-role worker is absent so you can call in backup.

Labor-law overtime engine

Overtime calculated per local labor law (Egyptian 35-50% based on hours, Saudi 50%, UAE 25%, etc.). Weekly + daily caps enforced. Compliance-safe without manual rules.

How AttendUX shift scheduling works

1

Define shift templates for your operation

Morning 9-5, Evening 4-12, Night 10pm-6am, Split 11-3 + 7-11 — whatever your business needs. Templates saved per role, branch, or employee.

2

Assign shifts (weekly/monthly) in bulk

Drag templates onto employees for whole weeks/months at once. Clone last-month schedule and tweak. Copy shift patterns between employees in same role.

3

Employees see schedule on mobile

Employees open iOS/Android app, see their week + month at a glance. Push notification when schedule changes. Shift-swap request to a colleague + manager approval.

4

Check-in enforced against schedule

Mobile face + GPS check-in validates employee is within shift time window + at correct location. Early/late tracked. Auto-checkout at shift end prevents accidental overtime clocking.

5

Overtime + payroll flow from shifts

Hours worked beyond schedule count as overtime per labor law. Shift premiums (night, weekend, Ramadan) auto-apply. Payroll pulls these correctly without manual entry.

Frequently Asked Questions

What shift types does AttendUX support?

Four core types: (1) Single-shift (standard fixed window like 9-5), (2) Multi-shift (same employee works multiple distinct shifts per day, each tracked separately), (3) Flexible-hours (employee picks start time within a window, system enforces required daily hours + maximum cap), (4) Rotation (14/14, 28/28, or custom on-site/off-site cycles for oil & gas and remote sites). Plus pre-built templates for split shifts (F&B), overnight shifts, and Ramadan reduced hours.

Does AttendUX enforce maximum working hours per labor law?

Yes. Egyptian Labor Law 14/2025 caps at 8 hours/day, UAE 33/2021 at 48 hours/week, Saudi at 8h (6h during Ramadan), Qatar and Kuwait similar. AttendUX enforces the applicable cap per employee country + auto-checks out at the max to prevent accidental overtime clocking. Overrides require manager approval + are logged for audit.

Can I handle 14/14 or 28/28 rotation shifts for oil & gas contractors?

Yes. Rotation shift templates are pre-built. Define cycle length (14 days on + 14 days leave, or 28/28, or custom like 21/7), AttendUX schedules the rotation forward indefinitely, per-diem allowances auto-apply during on-site weeks, and off-site weeks don't count against vacation balance (they're paid leave by contract type).

Does AttendUX handle Ramadan reduced hours?

Yes. Across most MENA countries, Muslim employees are entitled to reduced working hours during Ramadan (typically 6 hours/day instead of 8). AttendUX auto-applies the Ramadan rule per employee religion + per country law, re-calculating required daily hours, overtime thresholds, and max caps for the Ramadan period. Non-Muslim employees continue standard hours.
