ERP development · HR software
HR software in the UAE has to know which rules apply to your company before it can calculate a single day of leave. Mainland, DIFC, ADGM and free-zone employers follow different policy sets, and gratuity, GPSSA contributions and leave accrual depend on them. The HR and payroll module of e-tijariX, offered, implemented and supported by Next Orbit, starts with a labour-law wizard that sets the policy profile for each entity, so leave, rotas, gratuity and payroll all follow the same rules.
Quick answer
HR software in the UAE keeps employee records, manages leave, shifts and rotas, calculates gratuity and GPSSA contributions and feeds payroll. The HR and payroll module of e-tijariX, offered, implemented and supported by Next Orbit, begins with a labour-law wizard and four policy profiles for UAE mainland, DIFC, ADGM and free zones, adds recruitment with CV parsing and gives staff a mobile app for leave requests, payslips and letters. Payroll runs to a WPS SIF file and posts to the ledger.

Part of our ERP development service. The same architecture-first process, quality control and support apply; tell us the problem and one of our expert engineers will map it to a plan.
Discovery CallNext Orbit implements HR from its Dubai office for employers in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah and across the UAE and GCC.
The work loads employees, contracts, visas and documents, selects the policy profile, configures leave types, shifts and ROTA patterns, and connects recruitment with CV parsing to the hiring pipeline. Staff get mobile self-service for leave, payslips and documents, and HR learns the compliance calendar.
Leave entitlement, gratuity formula, probation and notice rules differ between mainland, DIFC, ADGM and free zones, and a spreadsheet does not know which one your entity follows.
The labour-law wizard asks where each entity is registered and applies the matching profile to leave accrual, gratuity, GPSSA and end-of-service calculations.
Rotas, overtime, leave and loans flow into the payroll run, which produces the WPS SIF file and posts salaries, gratuity accruals and GPSSA to the ledger.

Architecture-first
Before a line of production code is written we draw the system: the people who use it, the services behind it and the systems it must talk to. This reference architecture from our ERP development practice is the starting point we adapt to your operation.

How it runs
5 stages, each with a deliverable you can review and sign off before the next begins.
A demo on Next Orbit sample data, then a review of entities, policies in use, leave types, shifts and the current payroll routine.
The labour-law wizard run for each entity, profiles confirmed with your HR lead and PRO, and leave and gratuity rules checked on sample employees.
Employees, contracts, visas, documents, leave balances and loans imported from your current tool or spreadsheet and verified against sample payslips.
Shifts, rotas and attendance devices configured, the mobile app rolled out to staff and managers trained to approve requests from it.
One payroll run in parallel with the old process, then live operation with support for renewals, new hires and rule changes.
Who it is for
Employers with drivers, storekeepers and sales staff on rotas who request leave from a phone and need attendance exceptions settled before payroll.
Companies in DIFC, ADGM or a free zone that need the matching policy profile rather than mainland rules applied to leave, gratuity and notice.
Employers running mainland and free-zone entities side by side with one HR team, separate rule sets and a single view of headcount.
Companies receiving many CVs that want parsing, interview stages and offers handled in one pipeline that becomes the employee record on acceptance.

Employee records with visas and documents, contracts, leave, shifts and attendance, gratuity, GPSSA for eligible nationals, recruitment and self-service, with payroll producing the WPS file. The rules must follow the policy set that applies to each entity, which e-tijariX sets through a labour-law wizard.
e-tijariX holds four policy profiles: UAE mainland, DIFC, ADGM and free zones. The wizard applies the right one per entity, and leave accrual, probation, notice, gratuity and GPSSA follow it. A group can run entities on different profiles within one login.
Yes. End-of-service gratuity is accrued monthly on the formula in the entity's policy profile, using basic salary and service length, and the accrual posts to the ledger. On exit, the final settlement shows gratuity, leave encashment and deductions for review before payment. This is not legal advice.
Yes. The mobile app lets employees request leave, view payslips and balances, upload documents, clock in where enabled and ask the HR assistant questions in Arabic or English. Managers approve requests from the same app, and HR sees exceptions before the payroll run.
A requisition publishes to a careers page, CVs received are parsed into candidate records with skills and experience, and candidates move through interview stages to an offer letter from a bilingual template. The accepted candidate becomes an employee with documents already attached.
Yes. Rotas, overtime, leave, loans and deductions flow into the payroll run, which produces the WPS SIF file for your bank and posts salaries, accruals and contributions to the ledger. See payroll software with WPS.
Yes. Field-level security hides salary, gratuity and bank details from roles that do not need them, out of 223 permissions and seven ready roles. Every view and change of an employee record is kept in the audit log.
