Frequently asked questions

Clear answers to the questions customers ask us most about Stabee.

About Stabee

What is Stabee?

Stabee is a cloud HR platform built for companies in the Middle East, with full Arabic support. It brings employee records, attendance, leave and requests, payroll, recruitment, and reports together in one place, with an Employee app for staff and a Manager app for managers.

Which companies can use Stabee?

Stabee suits small, medium-sized, and large companies in every industry, whether they have one branch or many. You choose the plan that fits your headcount and the features you need, and move to a larger plan as your company grows.

How long does it take to get started with Stabee?

Stabee is a ready-to-use cloud system, so you can start as soon as you create your account. On average, small and medium-sized companies can be fully set up within one day to one week, depending on the volume of their data. We provide full support with initial setup and data migration.

Does Stabee require installing software or servers?

No. Stabee runs in the browser on any internet-connected device, and we take care of hosting, updates, and backups. Employees and managers can also use the mobile apps.

Does Stabee fully support Arabic?

Yes. Stabee is built in Arabic from the ground up, with a right-to-left interface across the platform and the apps. English is also available, and each user chooses their language in their settings.

Plans and pricing

What pricing plans are available?

We offer four plans: Starter, Growth, Business, and Enterprise. They differ in the number of employees, branches, and features, and every plan starts with a 14-day free trial that includes all features. Prices for the first three plans are published in your local currency on the pricing page, and Enterprise is priced by quote based on the size of your company.

Can I change my plan later?

Yes. You can upgrade to a higher plan at any time and pay only the difference for the remaining period of your subscription. You can also change your plan at renewal.

Can I cancel my subscription at any time?

Yes. When you cancel, your data is kept for 30 days, during which you can download a full copy of it. After that, it is permanently deleted from our systems.

Security and data protection

How does Stabee protect my company's data?

All data travels over an encrypted connection, and each company's data is kept completely separate from every other company's. Your company sets the permissions for each role, every sensitive action is recorded in an audit log, and an account loses access the moment it is suspended.

Who can access employee data?

Only the people your company authorizes. Employees see only their own data, line managers see their team, and branch or department managers see the employees in their branch or department. HR managers manage whatever their permissions allow. Any access to your company's account by our support team is recorded in the audit log.

What happens to my data when I cancel my subscription?

Your data is kept for 30 days after cancellation, during which your company admin can request and download a full copy of it. When that period ends, the data is permanently deleted and cannot be recovered.

Technology

Does Stabee integrate with other systems?

You can import employee data and export reports and payroll as CSV files that open in Excel, ready for your accounting and banking systems. We are working on direct integrations with other systems, so tell us what you use and we will give you a precise date.

What are Stabee's system requirements?

A modern browser (Chrome, Safari, Edge, or Firefox) and an internet connection. For the mobile apps, you need an Android or iOS phone. Stabee requires no special hardware or servers.

Can Stabee be customized to our needs?

Yes. In settings, you configure leave types and balances, attendance and working-hours policies, each branch's location, approval chains, roles and permissions, branches and departments, letter templates, and payroll items for allowances and deductions.

How are updates handled?

Updates and new features reach you automatically, with no action on your part and no interruption to your work, because Stabee runs in the cloud and we maintain it.

Does Stabee back up my data?

Yes. We back up your data automatically every day and keep each backup for 14 days, so we can restore it if anything goes wrong.

Using Stabee

How do employees access Stabee?

The HR manager sends each employee an invitation by email. The employee activates their account and chooses a password, then signs in from the browser or the mobile app with their email address or mobile number.

Does Stabee require training?

Stabee's interface is simple and clear, and most users start working without any training. We still guide you through initial setup and answer your team's questions whenever you need us.

How do approvals work in Stabee?

For each request type, you define an approval chain of one or more levels, such as the line manager and then HR. Each approver is notified when a request reaches them, and the employee tracks its status step by step until it is approved or rejected.

Can Stabee be used across multiple branches?

Yes. You add your branches and departments, and each branch has its own geographic location for attendance. Branch managers see only the employees in their branch, while senior management sees all branches in reports and on the dashboard.

Mobile apps

What can employees do in the Employee app?

Employees check in and out from their phones, submit and track requests for leave, short leave, and salary advances, view their payslips and employment details, and get an instant notification for every update.

Does attendance use geolocation?

Yes. When an employee checks in or out, the app verifies their location against the branch location and the allowed distance. You can also require a selfie with each check-in and check-out, and managers see the details of every one.

Does the app work offline?

No. The app needs an internet connection to record attendance and submit requests, so that everything is logged on time and the location is verified. Any standard mobile data or Wi-Fi connection is enough.

How is the mobile app secured?

The app connects to Stabee over an encrypted connection, sign-in credentials are kept in the phone's secure storage, and access stops immediately if the company suspends the employee's account.
