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.

What’s new in WatheeqaHR: attendance review before payroll

A missing clock out tells you something needs checking. It does not tell you someone was absent.

I m Kanaan, the founder of WatheeqaHR. Since our first launch, I ve been working on making that distinction easier for HR teams to handle before payroll.

Here is what you can try now:

Free Attendance Analyzer: upload an original Excel or CSV export, set your working hours and review worked hours, lateness and missing punches. There is a sample file if you want to try it without using employee data.

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.
