Attendance
Clock in from anywhere with a daily record per employee and an exportable report.
Leave & approvals
Requests route to the manager then HR; balances follow your own policy.
Many branches, many clocks
A Dubai branch and a Cairo branch in one company, each on its own working week.
Arabic and English
A fully Arabic interface with native RTL, and English for the teams that need it.
A working week you choose, not one we assume
The UAE moved its weekend, and plenty of companies here run a schedule that matches neither the old one nor a European Monday-to-Friday. Remotly asks for the country and the working days when you create a branch and suggests a starting point, and you set it to whatever your company actually works — including a half day, and including different answers in different branches.
Built for mixed teams
A UAE company rarely has one nationality or one language on the payroll, and rarely has everyone in the same emirate. Remotly is Arabic-first with a full English interface, so an Arabic-speaking HR manager and an English-speaking engineer use the same system in their own language, and every branch keeps its own timezone, working days and holiday calendar.
When half the team is never in the office
Consultancies, contractors and agencies in the UAE routinely have people at a client's premises, at a site, at home and abroad in the same week. A fingerprint terminal in reception describes only the people who walked past it, so the register it produces is a description of the office rather than of the company.
Remotly records attendance where the work happens: a phone or a laptop, one button, and a daily record per employee. The office manager gets a live picture of who is working, who is on a break and who is on approved leave, and the month ends with a report rather than a reconstruction.
- Clock in from anywhere, with the location recorded when the company turns that on.
- Breaks by kind — lunch, rest, prayer — so a prayer break is never read as an absence.
- Leave requests routed to the line manager, then visible to HR, with the decision kept.
- A monthly report per employee, department or branch, exportable for payroll.
Common questions
Does it support the UAE working week?
Yes. You choose the country, timezone and working days per branch, and change them at any time. Remotly suggests a starting point and never forces one.
Does it calculate gratuity or statutory leave?
No. Remotly tracks leave and balances against the policy your company configures, and asserts no statutory figures of its own. Refer to the applicable law and your internal regulations for those.
How much does it cost?
The free plan covers attendance, leave, employee records, projects and tasks, with no credit card. Paid plans add the advanced modules.
