Denways HR: HRMS and payroll software for the UAE and GCC
One platform for your whole workforce,
from onboarding to payroll.
DenwaysHR is HRMS software for companies in the UAE and across the GCC: HR, attendance, leave and WPS payroll on one employee record.
What it is
An HRMS that keeps HR, attendance, leave and WPS payroll against one employee record.
HRMS stands for human resource management system: the software a company runs its people on. In this one, biometric punches and overtime reach the payroll run on their own, and the WPS file comes out of the approved run. Nothing is exported to a spreadsheet and typed in again. What is an HRMS?

Core HR & Records
One record that holds the whole person
Personal details in one system, government IDs in another and bank details in a spreadsheet is how HR data goes wrong. Here it is one record.
- Personal details, employment and work information
- Government IDs including Emirates ID and labour card
- Bank account details, encrypted at rest
- Document storage and a 360° view of the full record
The rest of it, screen by screen.
The product itself, on a demo company's data. Nothing here is drawn for the website.
The platform
What else runs in the same system as payroll?
Government IDs are encrypted at rest, access follows the roles you set, and every sensitive change is written to the audit log.
How security works360° employee records, an interactive org chart, and group-based access so managers only see their own reporting line.
Emirates ID, labour card and contracts: every employee document stored and organized in one place.
A full web app that works on a phone, a Windows desktop tracker and a browser extension. Native iOS and Android apps are in development.
Projects, tasks, checklists and dependencies, with time entries tracked against every one.
Headcount, attendance trends and departmental breakdowns in one clean dashboard.
One account, many branches. Policies, payroll and approvals apply consistently across every location.
End of service
Three Gulf labour laws, one end-of-service calculation.
Try one exit under all three laws. Move the sliders and the end-of-service figures on the right recalculate.
Indicative only. The salary is read as basic pay in the UAE and Qatar and as the last full wage in Saudi Arabia, each in its own currency. See the full working
