Construction Workforce Management UAE — Labour, Attendance & WPS Payroll
Built for UAE Construction — Sites, Shifts & Compliance
AiTIME is built for the realities of UAE construction — remote sites, large crews, rotating shifts, and strict WPS payroll requirements. Track every worker with biometric attendance, manage subcontractors and crews, and generate WPS-compliant payroll files — all from one platform.
Built for Construction Site Conditions
AiTIME handles the attendance and workforce tools that UAE construction companies actually need — from remote sites to large subcontractor crews.
Labour Attendance Construction
Labour Attendance for Construction Sites
Construction sites across the UAE present unique attendance challenges — outdoor environments, multiple shifts, workers without smartphones, and remote locations without reliable internet. AiTIME supports rugged biometric terminals with offline punch storage, GPS mobile check-in for supervisors, and automatic sync whenever connectivity is restored.
- Rugged biometric terminals with offline punch buffering
- GPS mobile check-in for site supervisors and field staff
- Multiple shift patterns — day, night, and rotating
- Automatic sync when connectivity returns at remote sites
Subcontractor & Crew Management
Subcontractor & Multi-Crew Management
UAE construction projects routinely involve multiple subcontractors and specialist crews working under the same site. AiTIME lets you track each crew separately — by job code, subcontractor, nationality, or trade — while keeping all data in one dashboard. Subcontractors can be given limited access to view only their own crew's records.
- Separate tracking by crew, subcontractor, and job code
- Nationality and trade classification per employee
- Subcontractor portal with scoped access
- Cross-crew attendance and hours reporting
Construction Shift Scheduling
Construction Site Shift Scheduling
UAE construction operates around 10- and 12-hour shifts, rotating rosters, and night shifts that keep projects on schedule year-round. AiTIME's shift engine handles non-standard patterns that most HR software ignores — split shifts, compressed weeks, and rolling rosters across different site zones.
- 10- and 12-hour shift configurations
- Rotating and night shift roster management
- Split shift and compressed work week support
- Automatic overtime calculation against UAE labour law thresholds
WPS Payroll Construction
WPS Payroll for Construction Workers
Construction companies in the UAE face strict MoHRE WPS requirements. AiTIME calculates wages directly from verified attendance data — including overtime at the correct UAE rates, site allowances, deductions, and accommodation adjustments — and generates WPS-compliant salary transfer files ready for your bank.
- WPS salary transfer file generation for MoHRE
- Overtime calculation at UAE labour law rates
- Site allowance, accommodation, and deduction management
- Payslip distribution via employee self-service portal
Frequently Asked Questions
How does AiTIME track labour attendance on remote construction sites?+
AiTIME supports rugged biometric terminals with offline punch storage for sites with poor or no internet. Punches are saved on the device and synced to the cloud automatically when connectivity is restored. Supervisors can also use GPS mobile check-in for outdoor crew management.
Is AiTIME compliant with WPS requirements for construction workers in the UAE?+
Yes. AiTIME generates WPS-compliant salary transfer files directly from verified attendance records. Overtime, allowances, and deductions are calculated automatically and included in the payroll file for MoHRE submission.
Can AiTIME handle multiple subcontractors on the same construction project?+
Yes. Each subcontractor and crew can be tracked separately by job code, trade, or nationality. Subcontractors can be given a scoped login to view only their own crew's attendance records, while the main contractor retains full visibility across all crews.
What happens if there is no internet at a construction site?+
Biometric devices store punches locally in onboard memory. When the site's internet connection is restored — or a supervisor brings the device online — AiTIME pulls all queued records and syncs them to the cloud. No data is lost during an outage.
Can AiTIME track employee visa status and nationality for construction workforce compliance?+
Yes. AiTIME stores nationality, visa expiry, and trade classification for each worker. You can run reports to identify expiring visas and ensure workforce documentation is current — an important requirement for UAE construction site compliance.
How does AiTIME calculate overtime for construction workers in the UAE?+
AiTIME applies UAE labour law overtime rates automatically — 1.25x for weekday overtime and 1.5x for rest day and public holiday work. Overtime thresholds and shift patterns are configured per crew type, and the calculations feed directly into WPS payroll.
