What is HR and attendance software in the UAE, and how does it work?
HR software keeps your employee records, attendance, leave and shifts in one place, so you stop running workforce operations from spreadsheets, WhatsApp groups and memory. Employo is simple, browser-based HR software for UAE teams without an HR department.
Attendance tracker for UAE teams with online check-in
Employees check in online from a tablet or browser, and you see who is in, who is late and who left early, live. Limit check-ins to your office or warehouse Wi-Fi so a check-in means the person is at work. It's an attendance tracker that replaces punch cards and sign-in sheets across Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Northern Emirates.
