What you get with Workplus HCM Attendance Software in Dubai UAE

Manual attendance tracking wastes time and creates errors your HR team has to chase down. Workplus Attendance is the most advanced attendance software for employees in Dubai UAE, giving you real-time visibility into who is in, who is late, and who is absent, without any manual work. Whether your team works on-site, remotely, or across multiple locations, every check-in is captured accurately and automatically.

Effortless Clock-In and Clock-Out

Employees check in and check out from the web browser or mobile app in seconds. The system records the exact time of every entry, gives employees a clear view of their own attendance, and makes the data immediately available to managers in real time.

Biometric Device Integration

Workplus Attendance uses AI-verified biometric integration to make every clock-in tamper-proof. Fingerprint scanners, facial recognition terminals, and selfie-based check-ins all sync automatically to a single platform. The AI validation layer detects anomalies and prevents buddy punching in real time, giving you attendance data accurate enough to drive payroll and compliance without any manual cross-checking.

Geo-Fencing and Geo-Location Tracking

Set a virtual boundary around your office or work site. Employees can only clock in when they are within the approved area, which eliminates inaccurate entries at the source. For field teams and remote workers, GPS-verified geo-location tracks exactly where each check-in happened, giving managers confidence in attendance accuracy across every location in Dubai or across the UAE. All geo-location data is available in real time on your attendance dashboard

Selfie Clock-In Verification

Add an extra layer of identity verification with selfie-based clock-ins. Employees take a photo when checking in and the system confirms their identity before recording the entry. This prevents buddy punching and keeps your attendance records clean and trustworthy.

Remote and Hybrid Work Support

Whether your team is fully remote, office-based, or on a hybrid schedule, Workplus Attendance adapts to your model. Employees clock in from anywhere using the mobile app, with a complete audit trail for every entry. Managers see the same accurate data regardless of where their team is working.

Attendance Software FAQs

What UAE employers ask before they move attendance off paper and spreadsheets.

How much does attendance software cost in Dubai?

Attendance is included on the Standard plan at AED 12 per employee per month, alongside leave, timesheets and the mobile app. There is no minimum number of users. Rosters and shift rotations sit on the Power plan at AED 16.

Can employees clock in from their phone?

Yes. Check-in runs from the Workplus mobile app on the Standard plan, with GPS location, selfie capture and IP restriction available on the same record. Site teams, drivers and remote staff clock in from where they actually are rather than queuing at a wall unit.

Which biometric devices work with Workplus attendance?

Workplus syncs with ZKTeco, Suprema and other common biometric readers. Integrating readers you already own is included rather than charged, and supplying new devices is a paid add-on on any plan.

How does attendance software stop buddy punching?

Three controls stacked together. Geofencing rejects a check-in outside the site boundary, selfie capture ties the punch to a face, and IP restriction limits which networks can log attendance at all. Biometric readers close the same gap on site. Most companies use geofencing plus selfie for field staff and readers at fixed offices.

How does attendance software handle UAE overtime rules?

Overtime is calculated from the shift rules you configure rather than assumed, so contract type, rest days and public holidays are set once and applied every cycle. Approved hours flow straight into the pay run on the Power plan, and overtime summaries report alongside attendance and payroll cost.

Workplus Attendance integrates directly with payroll, so overtime, deductions, and allowances are always calculated correctly based on real attendance data. No manual input, no end-of-month reconciliation, no errors.
