DUBAI – December 13, 2023 — Zoho, a leading global technology company, today
launched Zoho Payroll, payroll management software for businesses, in the UAE. The
solution allows businesses to streamline payroll management, automate their monthly
payroll tasks, and ensure compliance.
“Businesses often face key challenges in payroll management like pulling in employee
records from multiple sources while staying compliant with the local labour laws. Zoho
Payroll serves as a modern alternative for UAE businesses, providing built-in
compliance, automating monthly payroll tasks, and seamlessly connecting with the
relevant data sources. With a consumer-grade UI, the solution not only simplifies payroll
management for finance teams but also enhances the employee experience by offering
a user-friendly self-service portal. Today’s launch builds on our recent momentum of
addressing Corporate Tax compliance for UAE businesses, further solidifying our
commitment to supporting businesses in the country,” said Prashant Ganti, Head of
Product Management, Zoho Finance and Operations Suite.
Today, one of the biggest challenges that UAE businesses face is ensuring compliance
with various labour laws like Wage Protection Systems (WPS), pensions, and end of
service benefits. Moreover, to do a single payrun, businesses need to pull in relevant
employee information from other systems like attendance, loss of pay, and
reimbursements. This necessitates a modern solution that offers the flexibility to pull
data from relevant sources contextually, and ensures compliance with local laws.
Zoho Payroll is a modern payroll solution that comes with capabilities like employee
onboarding and offboarding, benefits handling, employee self-service portal, single-click
payroll processing, and real-time payroll summary reports. The application automatically
ensures end-to-end compliance related to gratuity, and pension scheme contribution
based on the employee’s nationality. Zoho Payroll also provides advanced
customisations that allow businesses to customise fields, salary components, email
notifications, reminders and alerts. Zoho Payroll offers a unique payroll insights
capability where organisations can see a snapshot of their payrun for a particular
period, creating visibility into individual components within that payrun.
Businesses can empower employees with access to a self-service portal where they
can view their salary information, download payslips, receive notifications related to
their documents, and salaries, track borrowed loans, and communicate with the payroll
team. The intuitive user interface not only streamlines these processes but greatly
enhances the overall employee experience. Moreover, employees can access this
portal through the Zoho Payroll mobile application on iOS and Android devices. This
ensures that employees can instantly and conveniently perform all necessary functions
at any time, providing a user-centric solution for accessing payroll information.
Zoho Payroll comes pre-integrated with Zoho Books for automating accounting entries,
Zoho Expense for employee expense reimbursements, and Zoho People for employee
details and leave data. The software is also pre-integrated with the recently-launched
Zoho Practice, practice management software for accountants, where the accountants
can view their client’s pending payruns, unapproved revisions, and payments. They can
also manage employee payroll-related documents, and set expiry notifications.
Additionally, the accountants will be able to collaborate with their clients through voice,
text or video call, and share important payroll-related documents.
Pricing and availability
Zoho Payroll is available for use immediately, and the pricing starts at AED7 per
employee, per month, billed annually. For more information please visit Zoho Payroll’s
