About us

HR software that speaks the UAE's language

ZawiyaHR started with a simple frustration: great HR teams stuck stitching together spreadsheets, WPS files and payroll by hand. So we built one system that does it properly.

Our mission

Give every UAE business enterprise-grade HR - without the enterprise overhead

Running HR in the UAE means juggling WPS deadlines, gratuity math, visa expiries, Emiratisation targets and payroll that has to be right to the fils. Most tools handle one piece and leave the rest to you.

We took the opposite approach. One platform, one shared backend, a desktop app for HR and a native app for every employee - with the hard UAE rules encoded once so they're right for everyone.

The result: HR teams get their time back, employees get clarity, and compliance stops being a monthly scramble.

What we believe

Principles behind the product

Compliance is a feature, not a footnote

UAE labour law is built into payroll, leave and offboarding - not bolted on afterwards.

One source of truth

HR and employees work from the same data, so numbers agree everywhere, every time.

Built for the people using it

Fast for HR on desktop, effortless for staff on mobile - even offline on site.

Based in the region

Built in Dubai, for the Emirates and beyond

Our team lives the same regulations our customers do. That proximity is why the product keeps pace with MOHRE, WPS and GPSSA changes.
