    Why this matters

    8+ hrs

    of work this feature replaces every payroll cycle. The hours that used to live in spreadsheets and shared folders now run end-to-end in seconds.

    What's in the platform

    Multi-brand biometric integration

    Out-of-box support for ZKTeco, Suprema, Hikvision, EBKN, Matrix and Realtime devices. Cloud sync from each device.

    Multi-site real-time sync

    Punches from multiple sites sync to one HR record in real time. Group-level attendance dashboards across all sites.

    AI Shift Scheduler

    Predicts shift demand from historical patterns and proposes rotations that minimise overtime cost while meeting coverage requirements.

    Article 17 overtime computation

    Auto-computes 1.25× regular OT, 1.5× night OT, 1.5× rest-day OT and 2× public-holiday OT from biometric punch data.

    Ramadan working-hours mode

    Auto-applies Ramadan working hours per UAE labour law for Muslim employees, with Hijri-calendar detection.

    GPS / geo-fenced check-in

    Mobile check-in with GPS validation for off-site staff and field teams. Tablet-based check-in for outlets.

    Substitution alerts

    When a worker is absent, the Scheduler proposes substitutes from the cover-pool by skill match and availability.

    Audit trail

    Every punch, every shift change, every approval timestamped and exportable for MOHRE / FTA audit.

    Why this matters

    UAE labour law has specific overtime, night-shift and Ramadan working-hour rules. Computing them manually invites errors that turn into MOHRE complaints and labour-court cases. A construction firm with 300 workers losing 1 hour of OT calculation per worker per month leaks AED 30,000+ annually in disputes.

    Biometric attendance also matters for blue-collar and shop-floor reality. Self-reported attendance doesn't work at scale. NeuralHR.AI connects to the devices already on your sites — no rip-and-replace — and sums data into one place.

    How it stacks up

    Most UAE HRMS platforms (NeuralHR.AI, Bayzat, ZenHR, Workplus) integrate with the major biometric brands. NeuralHR.AI's differentiation: AI Shift Scheduler that minimises OT cost, real-time multi-site sync, and Article 17 OT computation built into payroll. See full UAE HR software comparison.

    Frequently asked questions

    Which biometric devices does NeuralHR.AI support?

    ZKTeco, Suprema, Hikvision, EBKN, Matrix and Realtime — covering the vast majority of devices deployed at UAE sites. Cloud-sync from each device with no on-prem server required.

    Can I track attendance across multiple sites?

    Yes. Punches from multiple sites sync to one HR record in real time. Group-level dashboards aggregate attendance across all sites with site-level drill-down.

    Does it compute UAE overtime per Article 17?

    Yes. 1.25× regular overtime, 1.5× night overtime, 1.5× rest-day overtime, 2× public-holiday overtime — all computed automatically from biometric punch data per UAE Federal Decree-Law 33/2021.

    Does it handle Ramadan working hours?

    Yes. Hijri-calendar detection auto-applies Ramadan working hours (typically 6-hour shifts for Muslim employees) per UAE labour law. The Scheduler adjusts to the shorter day automatically.

    Can workers check in via mobile instead of biometric?

    Yes. The mobile app supports GPS check-in with geo-fence validation for field teams, off-site work and small offices without biometric devices.

    What about substitution when a worker is absent?

    The Scheduler matches absences against the cover-pool by skill and availability, then proposes substitutes for manager approval.

    Is biometric attendance included in the price?

    Yes. Biometric integration is included in every paid tier from AED 399 / month. There's no per-device fee or extra subscription for multi-site sync.

    Can attendance feed payroll directly?

    Yes. Attendance data flows into the monthly payroll cycle automatically — basic salary, overtime, deductions for absences and unpaid leave are all computed from biometric data without manual entry.
