The problem

Too small for an HR team. Too big to keep it on Excel.

Once a company passes a handful of employees, HR work grows quietly: salaries, leave requests, renewals, warnings, exits. It usually lands on the owner or an office manager who already has a full job.

FAQ

Questions owners ask us first.

Do you need to be in our office?

No. Everything runs remotely through a shared folder, email and WhatsApp. We can join a video call whenever you need one.

Do you handle government transactions?

We prepare and check every document. Your PRO or an approved service centre submits it, and we follow up until it is complete.

We already have a PRO. Do we still need you?

Yes, the roles are different. A PRO submits transactions. We run the HR work behind them: payroll, contracts, leave, records and calculations.

How long does setup take?

Most companies are running on a monthly routine within their first month, depending on how organised the existing files are.

How do you protect employee data?

Signed confidentiality agreements, access limited to the team assigned to your company, and files kept in a folder you own.

Who approves payroll?

You do. We send a summary before the WPS file goes out, and nothing is submitted without your approval.

What are the contract terms?

Plans are billed monthly with a three-month minimum term. After that, you can cancel with one month's notice. Prices include VAT.

Do you work with free zone companies?

Yes, with mainland and most free zone companies. DIFC and ADGM have their own employment laws, so tell us if you are based there.
