Everything HR needs, nothing it doesn't
One platform for HR and every employee - built around how UAE companies actually run payroll, attendance and compliance.
An attendance engine that does the thinking
Employees punch in and out on mobile - even offline. The system derives each day's status and credit, applies shift policies, and hands the result straight to payroll.
- Offline-first punching with idempotent sync
- Automatic day status: present, half-day, leave, holiday, week-off
- Grace, break and overtime thresholds per shift policy
- HR corrections and overtime approvals in one place
Compliant payroll, one click per branch
Pro-rated, balance-aware runs with structured salary components. Export a WPS Salary Information File and send payslips to every device - all from the same run.
- Basic + housing/transport components, basic-derived calculations
- Pro-ration for mid-period joiners and provisional runs
- WPS SIF export with IBAN, MOL ID and fixed/variable split
- Server-rendered payslips on desktop and mobile
Leave that respects your policy and hierarchy
Define any leave type with balances and caps. Requests route up the position hierarchy, and payroll pays each day correctly - paid, capped or LOP.
- Dynamic leave types with monthly caps and carry-forward
- Half-day flags on start and end
- Approval chain from the org hierarchy
- Balance-aware pay per calendar month
From first day to final settlement
A guided onboarding wizard captures job, position, salary, documents, accounts and family - and places every hire in the org chart so their approvals work from day one.
- Five-step onboarding with progress tracking
- Assets and account provisioning checklists
- Document collection with expiry alerts
- Optional probation with a derived end date
An organization backbone every module reads
Companies, branches, departments, a positions hierarchy, holidays and policies - configured once and shared everywhere, with role-based admin access.
- Multi-branch with per-branch salary cycles
- Positions hierarchy driving approvals
- Public holidays and shift/leave policies
- Admin, HR and manager roles
Paperwork that keeps itself current
Visas, Emirates IDs, passports and labour cards are tracked records with numbers, dates and scans - and offer letters are written from the approved salary structure, not retyped.
- Expiry alerts from 90 days, flagged red inside 30
- Scans stored privately, never on a public URL
- Offer letters generated from salary, probation and shift
- Reimbursements that settle into payroll
One punch, all the way to the payslip
Most HR tools are separate apps stitched together. In ZawiyaHR every module reads the same records — so what happens at the door is exactly what lands in payroll.

Full, half or unpaid by leave type — maternity at 45 days full and 15 at half pay, with probation rules per type.
Gratuity & end-of-service
21/30-day accrual on basic salary, with GPSSA for UAE nationals.
Final settlement
Gratuity, leave encashment, notice pay and recoveries in one printable statement.
