Payroll That Closes on Time, Every Month

Control Shift is a Dubai software team that builds HR and payroll systems for UAE employers. From attendance and leave to WPS payroll, gratuity provisions, recruitment and employee self-service, we replace the spreadsheet that only one person understands with an HRMS that applies your policies consistently — and produces the WPS file, the letters and the reports without a month-end scramble.

For UAE Employers

HRMS & Employee Management

An HRMS should be the single source of truth about your people. We build employee records with contract and salary history, visa and Emirates ID expiry tracking, multi-entity org structures and approval workflows — plus a self-service app so HR stops answering the same five questions every week.

Employee Records

One profile per employee — contract, salary history, documents, dependants and org placement.

Visa & Document Expiry

Passport, visa, Emirates ID and labour-card tracking with staged reminders before anything lapses.

Org Structure & Multi-Entity

Departments, cost centres and multiple UAE entities or free-zone licences under one roof.

HR Workflows & Approvals

Requests, letters, transfers and salary changes routed through configurable approval chains.

Employee Self-Service

Payslips, leave balances, salary certificates and document requests from a mobile app.

Roles & Data Privacy

Strict role-based access and audit logs over salary and personal data, with full change history.

WPS, Gratuity & Finance

WPS Payroll Software

UAE payroll is unforgiving: WPS files must be right, gratuity and leave salary must follow labour law, and finance needs provisions accrued monthly rather than discovered at year end. We build payroll that encodes your salary structures and entitlements once, then runs the same way every month — and posts straight to accounting.

WPS-Compliant Payroll

Salary structures, allowances, overtime and deductions with a bank-ready WPS SIF file each month.

Gratuity & End of Service

End-of-service benefits calculated per UAE labour law, with provisions accrued monthly in the books.

Leave Salary & Air Tickets

Annual leave accrual, leave salary and air-ticket entitlement cycles handled automatically.

Loans & Deductions

Salary advances, loan instalments, fines and recoveries scheduled and tracked to closure.

Accounting Integration

Journal postings to Zoho, QuickBooks, Tally, SAP or your ERP with cost-centre allocation.

Payroll Reporting

Cost per department, headcount trends, overtime spend and provision reports for the CFO.

Time, Shifts & Leave

Attendance & Leave Management

Attendance data only helps if it reaches payroll without being retyped. We integrate biometric terminals and geofenced mobile check-in, apply your shift, overtime and grace rules automatically, and route exceptions to line managers — so hours, allowances and leave balances flow straight into the payslip.

Biometric Integration

Fingerprint and face-recognition terminals synced live, across offices, sites and warehouses.

Geofenced Mobile Check-In

GPS-verified attendance for field, site and delivery staff, with selfie verification where needed.

Shifts & Rosters

Rotating shifts, night allowances, split duties and roster publishing for multi-site teams.

Leave Management

Annual, sick, maternity and unpaid leave with entitlements, balances and approval chains.

Overtime & Exceptions

Automatic overtime calculation, late and missed-punch exceptions routed to managers for approval.

Attendance Analytics

Absenteeism, punctuality and utilisation reporting by department, site and line manager.

Hiring & Performance

Recruitment, Onboarding & Performance

Hiring in the UAE moves fast, and a slow process loses candidates. We build applicant tracking with a branded career page and AI CV shortlisting, onboarding checklists that cover visa and IT assets, and appraisal cycles that connect performance to increments instead of living in someone's inbox.

Recruitment (ATS)

Job requisitions, career page, CV parsing, interview stages and offer approvals in one pipeline.

Onboarding & Offboarding

Checklists for visa, IT assets, training and clearance so joining and exit never depend on memory.

Performance & KPIs

Goals, reviews, 360 feedback and appraisal cycles tied to increments and promotion decisions.

Training & Certification

Course records, mandatory safety training and certificate expiry tracking per role.

AI Screening & HR Chatbot

AI CV shortlisting and an HR assistant that answers policy and leave-balance questions instantly.

People Analytics

Turnover, time-to-hire, cost-per-hire and retention dashboards for leadership.

Built for the UAE

MOHRE-Aware, WPS-Ready & Bilingual

Imported HR platforms rarely know what gratuity, leave salary or an air-ticket entitlement is. We build for UAE employment reality — WPS files, labour-law-correct end-of-service, visa and Emirates ID tracking, and bilingual payslips and letters your Arabic-speaking staff can read.

MOHRE & Labour Law Aware

Contract types, gratuity, leave and working-hours rules modelled on current UAE labour law.

Arabic & English (RTL)

Bilingual portals, letters and payslips with proper right-to-left Arabic support.

WPS & Local Banking

Bank-ready WPS files, exchange-house formats and salary-card handling for every entity you run.

FAQ

Common Questions

A focused module — attendance and leave, or a recruitment ATS — starts from around AED 40,000. A full HRMS with WPS payroll, gratuity and self-service typically runs AED 90,000–160,000, and a multi-entity or HR SaaS product AED 160,000–250,000+. You get a fixed, itemised quote within 24 hours.

Yes. Payroll produces a compliant WPS Salary Information File for your bank or exchange house, with salary structures, allowances, overtime, deductions and end-of-service calculations handled per UAE labour law — so month-end stops depending on a fragile spreadsheet.

We build these as first-class rules, not afterthoughts: end-of-service gratuity by service length and contract type, annual leave accrual and leave salary, air-ticket entitlement cycles, and unpaid or sick-leave treatment — all recalculated automatically as employment details change.

Yes. We connect fingerprint and face-recognition terminals, and add GPS-geofenced mobile check-in for site and field staff, with shift rosters, overtime rules and exception approvals feeding payroll directly instead of being retyped.

Every employee record holds passport, visa, Emirates ID, labour card and certificate documents with expiry dates, staged reminders to HR and the employee, and renewal workflows — so nobody discovers an expired visa the week it becomes a fine.

A single module launches in roughly 6–8 weeks; a full HRMS with payroll takes 3–4 months including parallel-run testing against your current payroll. You receive 100% source-code ownership and the Git repository on completion — no lock-in, ever.
