Working in Masdar City

HR software for Masdar City businesses

Masdar City businesses are licensed by the free-zone authority, issue staff visas through the zone, and work with employees across multiple nationalities and legal statuses. Your HR platform needs to handle that complexity without forcing you into generic corporate templates. We work with the jurisdictional layer that actually governs your operations.

Every project is a fixed quote with a clear timeline and clear milestones. You own the work and the accounts outright when we're done — no lock-in, and nothing you can't take with you.

Free-zone employment law means your records system works differently

Free-zone staff operate outside the federal employment framework. Your organisation issues visas, manages contracts, and handles end-of-service obligations under free-zone rules, not the federal formula. The difference changes what your HR system needs to track and calculate. Hubb People holds employee records, contracts and documents in one place, with leave accrual, performance reviews, recruitment and disciplinary cases built on that reality. You export payroll data and Wage Protection System filings—the mechanism stays the same, but the legal foundation beneath it is yours to control, not pre-baked into the software.

Payroll runs and WPS filing without manual export loops

Every payroll cycle, you run salaries and need to file the Wage Protection System Salary Information File to the bank. Manual data entry between systems burns time and creates compliance risk. Hubb People handles payroll runs and generates the WPS export file in the format your bank needs—ready to upload without rework. You keep full audit trails of every calculation, every change, and every filing. The platform sits between your operational needs and your bank's technical requirements, removing the friction without hiding what's actually happening.

Performance, recruitment and employee relations in one record

Masdar City organisations move fast. Researchers, engineers and operations staff join, perform, and sometimes move on. You need to track performance plans and development goals, manage recruitment pipelines, and handle disciplinary cases—all against the same employee record, all auditable, all visible to the right people at the right time. Hubb People integrates performance reviews, PDP and IDP plans, goal-setting, 360-degree feedback, recruitment vacancies and applicant tracking, plus employee-relations cases with full investigation trails. Your team accesses their own details and leave balances through staff self-service. You get reporting across headcount, leave and performance without vendor switching.

Questions

HR software in Masdar City — common questions

Does Hubb People handle free-zone visa sponsorship and work permits?

No. Visa and work-permit administration sits outside the platform. We hold employee records and contracts; your free-zone authority processes visa applications. The platform tracks who is employed; the zone authority manages the permit mechanics.

Can the system apply different employment law rules for different staff members?

No. Hubb People does not automatically switch employees between legal jurisdictions or apply rule sets based on visa type. You configure the system once per company. If your organisation spans multiple legal statuses, you manage those distinctions at the process level, not through the software.

What happens when an employee's contract ends? Does the platform calculate gratuity?

Yes. The platform accrues end-of-service gratuity using the federal formula and calculates the final amount on separation. You retain control over the methodology and can override where your free-zone terms differ from the federal baseline.

Do you integrate with payroll systems or accounting software?

No. Hubb People generates payroll runs and exports WPS files for bank upload. Integration with accounting or general-ledger systems sits outside the platform. You export what you need and manage downstream systems separately.

Can researchers and lab staff manage their own leave and performance data through the app?

Yes. Employees access their own records, view leave balances, submit requests, and see performance feedback through staff self-service. The platform works on mobile for teams moving between facilities and offices.
