Where they started

A new site in a crowded subject

UAE payroll and labour law is a crowded subject. Every answer has to cite the law, and a wrong figure costs the reader money. smallerp.ae was a new site with no history.

The goal was clear: free trials of the payroll software, from people who search before they buy.

The plan

Three topics, chosen by what buyers search first

Salary and deductions

Before a company buys payroll software, its HR manager looks up what the law allows. Answers here cite the rule.

  • MOHRE rules

Free tools

People search for a calculator first. Each tool answers one question and shows the software that does it for a whole team.

  • Annual leave calculator
  • Salary calculator

Templates and admin

Business owners who run payroll by hand also hunt for the paperwork around it.
