Zoho People is a comprehensive HRMS that covers the full employee lifecycle. For recruitment, it manages job postings, applicant tracking, interview scheduling, and offer letters. For onboarding, it provides digital document collection, task checklists, and induction workflows. For ongoing employee management, it handles attendance tracking via biometric integration or mobile check-in, leave requests and approval workflows, performance review cycles, training records, and role-based document access. For UAE businesses, it connects with Zoho Payroll for WPS-compliant salary processing. Castle Gate configures Zoho People to match your specific HR policies, approval hierarchies, and reporting requirements.

Yes. Zoho People is cloud-based and fully mobile-accessible, making it well-suited for businesses with remote, hybrid, or multi-location teams. Employees can submit leave requests, check in for attendance, access payslips, and complete performance reviews from the Zoho People mobile app. Managers can approve requests, review team performance, and access headcount reports from any device. For businesses in Dubai with employees in other Emirates or across the GCC, Zoho People provides a consistent HR experience regardless of location, with all data centralised in one system rather than managed through email and physical forms.

Yes. Zoho Payroll is configured to support UAE Wage Protection System (WPS) compliance. It generates the SIF (Salary Information File) required by MOHRE for each payroll cycle, calculates salaries including basic pay, housing allowance, transport allowance, overtime, and deductions in accordance with UAE employment contract terms, and manages end-of-service gratuity accrual based on UAE Labour Law. Castle Gate configures Zoho Payroll for UAE businesses as part of our HR systems implementation, including the initial salary structure setup, WPS bank integration, and a review of existing employment contracts to ensure the payroll configuration reflects your contractual obligations.

Yes. Zoho People can be configured to store and track UAE employee documents including Emirates ID, residency visa, work permit, and passport, with automated alerts when documents are approaching expiry. This is a critical compliance requirement for UAE employers — failure to renew employee visas on time results in fines and potential business licence issues. Castle Gate configures Zoho People with a document management module that tracks every employee's key document expiry dates, sends automated reminders to HR at 60, 30, and 7 days before expiry, and maintains a compliance dashboard showing the status of all employee documents across the organisation.
