ZenHR’s Time and Attendance system is built for companies in Saudi Arabia and the MENA region. It simplifies tracking, ensures compliance, and enhances payroll accuracy with geo-enabled, biometric (ZKTeco), and QR code clock-ins. Managers can organize shifts, and employees manage attendance through the ESS app. ZenHR automates time off, overtime, and compliance workflows, providing real-time reports and exportable timesheets.
What you will get:
Track employee attendance by location with ZenHR’s Geolocation Attendance feature. Add multiple work sites and enable location-based check-ins and check-outs via the mobile app or web platform. Monitor exact arrival, departure, and break times, and apply geo-restrictions to ensure employees can only clock in from approved locations. This boosts accuracy, enhances employee time tracking, and supports attendance policy compliance.
Connect your biometric attendance devices, including fingerprint, facial, and iris scanners, with ZenHR to automate employee time tracking. Compatible with top hardware like ZKTeco, this integration syncs real-time check-in/out data via BioTimeCloud, with no need for local servers. HR teams can access accurate records instantly, reduce errors, and streamline payroll and attendance management.
ZenHR’s Recommendations Page helps HR teams save time by automatically suggesting time off, overtime, and other entries based on employee attendance records. It can also auto-apply eligible overtime using your company’s rules. This feature reduces manual work, improves payroll accuracy, and ensures your team stays compliant with attendance policies.
Easily track employee attendance using contactless QR code clock-ins, no biometric machines or physical contact required. A dynamic QR code is displayed on a shared screen, and employees scan it using their mobile app or camera to check in or out. You can apply security controls like Wi-Fi restrictions or IP filtering, and set auto-refresh intervals to keep check-ins secure.
Efficiently plan and assign all types of shifts, regular, roster, split, overnight, and flexible, using ZenHR’s intuitive Shifts Management tools. Define shift patterns with custom start/end times, breaks, and grace periods. Split shifts allow workdays to be broken into multiple intervals, while roster shifts support complex scheduling needs. Assign shifts individually or in bulk, import from templates, and notify employees automatically. This streamlines workforce planning, improves scheduling accuracy, and supports better time and attendance management.
Handle missed employee check-ins or check-outs with ease. This feature lets employees submit missing punch requests through a self-service workflow, while managers can review, approve, or reject them based on company policies. All approved updates are instantly reflected in attendance records and payroll calculations, ensuring accurate time tracking, reduced errors, and full labor law compliance.
Enforce attendance policies and workplace rules with automated, rule-based recommendations for disciplinary actions. The system detects violations such as repeated lateness, unexcused absences, or missing punches, and suggests actions like written warnings, salary deductions, or suspensions. HR can review and approve before applying them, ensuring consistent policy enforcement, improved HR compliance, and accurate tracking for employee performance management.
Streamline employee leave tracking with a fully localized leave management system designed for MENA labor law compliance. Manage annual leave, sick leave, maternity and paternity leave, unpaid leave, and custom leave types according to your company policies. Employees can submit leave requests and view leave balances in real time through the self-service portal, while managers handle approvals instantly. HR teams can set up leave accrual rules, apply country-specific regulations, and generate detailed leave reports.
