It connects seamlessly with biometric devices, mobile GPS apps, and RFID systems — then syncs all attendance data directly into your WPS-compliant payroll, eliminating double entry and manual errors.

Manual Payroll Entry Needed
A time and attendance system is a digital solution that automatically records and monitors employee working hours, shift schedules, late arrivals, overtime, and leave. Instead of relying on manual timesheets or punch cards, modern attendance systems use biometric authentication, mobile GPS apps, RFID cards, and cloud technology to capture data accurately in real time.
For UAE businesses, an employee attendance management system is especially important because UAE Labour Law (Federal Decree-Law No. 33) mandates specific rules around overtime pay, leave entitlements, and working hours. An automated system ensures these rules are applied consistently and that salary calculations — including WPS SIF file generation — are always accurate and audit-ready.
TrueBays StackHX goes beyond basic time tracking — it's a fully integrated HR and attendance management platform that connects biometric devices, mobile apps, leave management, and payroll in a single cloud-based system designed for the UAE market.
Managing attendance for a growing UAE workforce is complex. From tracking late-ins and grace periods to calculating overtime for WPS Salary Files, manual errors lead to MOHRE fines and unhappy employees.
TrueBays StackHX biometric attendance software Dubai captures real-time data from biometric devices and mobile apps, automatically applying your HR policies — Late Deductions, Overtime Rules, Ramadan Timings — before syncing directly to Payroll Software.

TrueBays StackHX combines biometric hardware integration, mobile GPS, and intelligent UAE labour law automation into one unified employee attendance system for Dubai and the UAE.
Manage complex rotating shifts for office, retail, and field teams. Handle night shifts, split shifts, and Ramadan timings automatically with zero manual configuration each month.
Allow sales teams and field staff to check-in via mobile app. The system validates their GPS location to confirm they are physically at the designated site before logging attendance.

Set configurable grace periods (e.g., 15 minutes). The system automatically flags late arrivals and early departures and applies deductions as per your HR policy — no manual review needed.

Before TrueBays StackHX, this UAE contractor tracked attendance for 400+ workers using Excel and manual card swipes across 3 sites — leading to daily errors, overtime disputes, and WPS salary delays. After deploying StackHX with ZKTeco biometric devices at each site and mobile GPS check-ins for supervisors, the entire process became automated.
"The biometric integration and payroll sync saved us hours every week. No more disputes over overtime hours." — HR Director, UAE Construction Company
