Klacks can be set up with reduced daily target hours for all staff during the holy month of Ramadan, monitors the overtime cap live, optionally with a hard block, and maintains hour accounts as the basis for WPS payroll — on-premise, so your scheduling and staff data required under the PDPL stay on your own infrastructure.
During the holy month of Ramadan, regular daily working hours are cut by 2 hours — with no reduction in pay, for every private-sector employee regardless of religion (Federal Decree-Law No. 33 of 2021, Art. 17, read with Cabinet Resolution No. 1 of 2022).
Overtime is capped at 2 hours a day, and total working hours may not exceed 144 hours per 3-week period — paid at a minimum +25% premium, rising to at least +50% between 22:00 and 04:00 (Art. 19).
Onshore private-sector wages must be paid electronically through the Wage Protection System (WPS) — employers who miss the 15-day payment window risk a freeze on new work permits (Ministerial Resolution No. 340 of 2026, in force since 1 June 2026).
The PDPL (Federal Decree-Law No. 45 of 2021) explicitly classifies biometric data as sensitive personal data — cross-border transfers are tightly regulated.
In the United Arab Emirates, all official public holidays are decreed centrally by the UAE Cabinet — uniformly for all seven emirates, with no cantonal or municipal variation like in Europe. The real challenge lies elsewhere: holidays whose exact date is only confirmed at short notice, and businesses that plan across several Gulf states.
From automatic Ramadan hours to WPS-ready payroll security — everything works together.
Klacks can be set up with daily target hours reduced by 2 hours for all staff during the holy month of Ramadan — with no need to manually adjust every single schedule.
Klacks warns before a shift is assigned if the 2-hour daily limit would be exceeded, and monitors total working hours per 3-week period live against the 144-hour cap; the night-work premium is calculated automatically, with an exactly configurable time window (22:00 to 04:00). On request, Klacks enforces such violations as a hard block: in block mode, a new violation can only be saved with documented supervisor approval (configurable per rule type).
Klacks keeps hour accounts reconciled against the schedule that provide the hour basis for WPS payroll under Ministerial Resolution No. 340 of 2026 — documented on time, instead of risky guesswork.
Your scheduling and staff data stay on-premise, on your own infrastructure — with none of the cross-border data transfer that the PDPL tightly regulates for sensitive personal data.
The built-in AI assistant Klacksy schedules by voice command — traceable to defined skills and rules, never an opaque AI decision.
If someone calls in sick, Klacks immediately shows who is qualified and available — without tearing up the whole schedule.
Before a plan change goes live, you can run it through as an isolated copy — the daily overtime limit and the 144-hour cap, together with premiums, are calculated live exactly as in the real plan. Only once everything checks out do you apply the variant; until then, your live schedule stays untouched. This lets you prepare a suitable scenario in advance for foreseeable situations — such as a staff member calling in sick or a sudden spike in orders — so you're ready to act immediately when it matters, instead of improvising under time pressure. There's no artificial limit on the number of scenarios — create as many as your planning needs.
Klacksy isn’t a bolted-on marketing chatbot, but embedded directly in the Klacks interface. Staff and schedulers ask about shift times via chat, request shift swaps, or check availability. A built-in skills and rules system ensures Klacksy only ever makes traceable suggestions — never a black-box decision. For businesses with strict PDPL requirements around sensitive personal data, the AI model can also be hosted locally.
