Founder, WatheeqaHR — UAE HR software

About

Building WatheeqaHR — simple attendance, leave, and salary tracking for UAE small businesses who've outgrown Excel but don't need (or want to pay for) a full HRMS. Technical founder, based in Sharjah. I care more about a tool doing a few things honestly than claiming to do everything. Always up for feedback from other small business owners or makers building in this space.

WatheeqaHR - Employee attendance, leave, and salary tracking for UAE

WatheeqaHR replaces scattered Excel sheets with one simple system for UAE small businesses (5-100 employees). Import attendance from biometric devices or Excel, manage leave requests, keep an internal salary ledger, and get automatic alerts before employee visas or documents expire. It's deliberately narrow: not a full HRMS, not a WPS filing system, not a replacement for your accountant — just the day-to-day operational tracking that most small businesses are still doing by hand.
