Deep-dives into U HR's 37 features — permissions, skills catalog, level progression, approval workflows, people analytics, and more.
What U HR actually does, module by module — multi-entity payroll with WPS submissions, leave management under Saudi labor law, documents and expiry tracking, Arabic-first employee self-service, GOSI and Nitaqat automation, and the people analytics layer that sits on top. These guides describe the operational reality of each feature, including the edge cases that only surface at month-end.
Half of HR tickets after payroll are people reading their own payslip wrong. Self-service with transparent rules deletes that half.
People analytics fails when it reports what happened instead of what to fix. Four lenses, read monthly, change the operating rhythm.
If approvals live in email, chat, and three signatures on paper, your real org chart is a rumor. Centralize the pipeline.
Field-worker attendance is the #1 payroll dispute source. U HR's Attendance with GPS and reviewer closes the gap.
Payslips in U HR aren't just PDFs — they're tied to Earnings & Deduction Rules, WPS file generation.
Most HRIS have single-tier approvals. U HR's two-tier model fits multi-entity holdings perfectly.
Migrating 1000+ employees from Excel? U HR's Bulk Uploads handles CSV import in minutes.
Employee self-service isn't just forms. U HR's Personal Workspace + Notifications create consumer-grade HR.
Matrix management needs flexible grouping. U HR's Projects & Teams handle cross-department assignments.
Career paths shouldn't be opaque. U HR's Position Catalog makes progression transparent.
Not every HR manager should see every company. U HR's Permissions & Roles enable scoped access.
CHROs of holdings need one dashboard. U HR's Scope & Workspaces + People Analytics deliver that.
Skills assessment isn't one-time. U HR's Skill Mastery + Approvals + Calibration create continuous improvement.
Skills is the employee-facing view of U HR's competency model: every worker sees the skills required at their level, the target proficiency, and the live mastery score. It is not a static list — it is the connective tissue between the Skill Catalog authored by HR and the Skill Mastery assessments that drive promotion.
Skill Mastery is the assessor's workbench inside U HR: every proficiency update carries a value, a date, a reviewer, and an approval status. It is the engine that turns the Skill Catalog from an aspirational list into an evidence-backed competency record that survives MHRSD and NDMO audits.
Positions & Career is the employee-facing screen that renders the Position Catalog authored by HR into a personal career path. Every employee sees their current position, the level it sits at, the months of service required, the skill mastery they still need, and the next position on their ladder.
Modules is the configuration layer of U HR: every screen in the system is registered as an addressable object that HR can enable, disable, or expose to specific roles. It is what makes U HR an opinionated platform that a non-specialist HR team can configure rather than a static SaaS product that requires IT to customise.
HR Accounts is the administrator-management screen inside U HR Manager. It provisions each HR user, binds them to a role from Permissions & Roles, and scopes them to a slice of the organization — and every such binding produces the access-control audit trail that NDMO auditors look for.
Saudi holdings running five to fifty legal entities need per-entity RBAC, not a single admin role for everyone. U HR's Modules, Permissions & Roles, HR Accounts, Classification Lists, and Projects & Teams deliver the granular access control that Western HRIS typically gates behind enterprise tiers.
Saudi mega-project contractors need to prove a crew competence matrix before mobilisation, not after. U HR's 7-feature Skills cluster — Skill Catalog with per-level target values, Bulk Skill Import, employee-facing Skills and Skill Mastery, Skill Approvals, manager Approval Management, and org-level Skills & Calibration — closes the loop from definition to assessment to calibration.
The CHRO of a five-company Saudi holding today runs quarterly people reports by emailing five HR managers for spreadsheets. U HR's People Analytics dashboard, with Org-Wide Visibility, Attendance Oversight, Career Progression, and Scope & Workspaces, consolidates Saudization ratios, attendance exceptions, and skills-pipeline health into one executive view.
