Payroll you review, not rebuild, every month

Set salaries once. Each month Peoplo.ai works out pay from attendance, leave and claims, the payroll anomaly check flags anything unusual, and you lock the run to release payslips.

AI in Payroll and compliance

AI prepares it. You approve it.

Changes to pay, people records and money are applied only after a person confirms them, and logged under their name.

Meet the AI agents

Payroll anomaly check

Before you lock, the payroll anomaly check compares the run with last month and flags big changes, missing attendance, unpaid leave, joiners and leavers, and negative pay.

Ask Kili

HR can ask Kili to summarise recent payroll runs, answer salary questions or add a salary component, which waits for your confirmation.

Payroll pre-run check

Before a run exists, it looks at the month, runs WPS checks and explains pay changes. It never locks payroll.

Salary due-date countdown

Before the payroll lock, Peoplo.ai warns of the salary due date and how late a salary is, following Ministerial Resolution 340/2026.

Employment cost view

Gratuity or DEWS, plus visa, insurance, ticket and housing costs, by department and in total.

Emiratisation watch

A daily check tells HR if the company is heading for a shortfall. Any cost shown is the official contribution only.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Straight answers about Peoplo.ai for UAE companies.

Does Peoplo.ai prepare the WPS salary file?

Yes. Payroll prepares the WPS salary file each month, and the payroll anomaly check reviews the run before you approve it. Since 1 June 2026, salaries are due on the first day of the following month.

How is end-of-service worked out?

On basic salary. On the mainland that is 21 days a year for the first five years, then 30 days, after at least one year of service and up to two years’ wage. The exit coordinator includes it in the final settlement for a person to approve.

How does unpaid leave work?

Approved leave of an unpaid type reduces pay for that month. Pending leave doesn’t count. People who join or leave mid-month are prorated automatically.

Can we pay a bonus or a one-time deduction?

Yes. Open the payslip, add a one-time addition or deduction with a label and amount, and recalculate. You can also set a component by hand for that month.

Can a locked payroll run be changed?

No. A locked run is final, which protects your records. Corrections are made in the next month with a one-time item.
