What is Zoho People Plus

A complete HR suite, not one HR app

Zoho People Plus is Zoho’s HR suite. It connects hiring, core HR, time and attendance, talent management, payroll, travel and expenses, and team chat in one system.

Many companies run HR on a patchwork of spreadsheets, a payroll tool and email. People Plus puts the employee record at the centre, so a hire becomes an employee, a leave request reaches payroll, and nothing is typed twice.

The employee journey

How People Plus follows an employee from day one

Each step hands over to the next, so HR spends its time on people and not on chasing paper.

  1. Step 1

    Hire

    Open the job, collect applications, run interviews and issue an e-signed offer letter. The candidate becomes an employee record in one click.

  2. Step 2

    Onboard

    New joiners complete forms, upload documents and see a checklist of first-week tasks. Managers and IT are notified automatically.

  3. Step 3

    Work

    Staff clock in, request leave and log time on their phones. Managers approve in a tap, and balances update at once.

  4. Step 4

    Pay

    Attendance, leave and expenses flow into payroll, with Saudi social insurance and end-of-service handled by Zoho Payroll where it is switched on.

  5. Step 5

    Grow

    Goals, appraisals and training records sit on the same profile, so reviews use real data.

Built for Saudi Arabia and the GCC

An HR suite that respects Saudi HR rules

A global product has to be set up for local practice. That is the part we do.

Leave and holidays

Saudi leave types, Islamic holidays, the Friday and Saturday weekend and reduced Ramadan hours, set up in the policies.

Social insurance and wages

Zoho says Zoho Payroll supports GOSI, end-of-service and wage files for Saudi Arabia. We confirm current coverage and test it with your payroll team.

Saudi HR platforms

We map your routines for Qiwa, Muqeem and Mudad, and show which parts Zoho covers and which stay manual.

Arabic and English

Contracts, letters and policies in both languages.

Employee data

Roles and access that limit who sees pay and personal data. We confirm where your Zoho data is stored.

GCC groups

Entities in Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain and Oman, each with its own rules.

Zoho People Plus FAQs

What is Zoho People Plus?

Zoho People Plus is Zoho’s HR suite. It combines talent acquisition, core HR, time and attendance, talent management, payroll, travel and expense, and team chat in one connected system.

What is the difference between Zoho People and People Plus?

Zoho People is the core HR application. People Plus bundles it with hiring, payroll, expenses and collaboration, so HR can run on one suite. If you only need core HR and attendance, Zoho People is usually enough.

Does Zoho People Plus support Saudi payroll?

Zoho says Zoho Payroll supports GOSI, end-of-service and wage files for Saudi Arabia. We confirm what applies to your plan and test your payroll end to end before go-live.

Can it handle Saudi leave and Ramadan working hours?

Yes, through leave policies, holiday lists and shift settings. We set up Saudi leave types, Islamic holidays, the weekend and reduced Ramadan hours with your HR team.

Can employees use it on their phones?

Yes. Zoho People has Android and iOS apps for check-in, leave requests and approvals.

Can you connect it to our ERP or finance system?

Yes. We connect HR data and payroll journals to Zoho Books, SAP, Business Central, Odoo or TallyPrime, so finance does not re-key payroll.

Can you move our HR data from spreadsheets or another system?

Yes. We clean and load employee records, leave balances and documents, and check them with HR before go-live.

Where is our HR data stored?

Zoho announced two data centres in Saudi Arabia, in Riyadh and Jeddah, in March 2024. Which apps and accounts use them depends on your set-up, so we confirm it with Zoho for your case.

Is GoAgile a Zoho partner for Zoho People Plus?

Yes. GoAgile Technologies is a Zoho Premium Partner. Our head office is in Riyadh, and our dedicated Zoho team sets up, customises, integrates and supports Zoho People Plus for businesses across Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain and Oman.
