Attendance & shiftsHR & payroll · Egypt
Rakeez holds everything about everyone who works for you — hiring, attendance, leave, commission, expenses and payroll — in one system, in Arabic and English. Social insurance and income tax computed, with the workings on every payslip.
| Employee | Total pay | Insurance + tax | Payable |
|---|---|---|---|
| Nour Adel | 12,000.00 | 2,268.50 | 9,731.50 |
| Kareem Fathy | 9,500.00 | 1,548.50 | 7,951.50 |
| Salma Hany | 18,102.50 | 3,902.50 | 14,200.00 |
Insurance and tax computed from the rules in force that month — and every figure on this sheet can show its workings.
Egyptian companies, Egyptian working weeks, Egyptian holidays.
Every screen, both directions. Not a translation layer.
Contracts, documents and salary history are kept, never overwritten — and a document your team removes stays on file.
Every row scoped to your company. No exceptions, and tested.
What this replaces
Every company we have talked to runs on the same five workarounds. Each one costs somebody a day a month, and nobody quite trusts the result.
"Attendance arrives on WhatsApp."
Staff check in from their own phone, at the branch or in the field, with the location recorded. Shifts, lateness and absence land in the same place.
Attendance & shifts"Commission gets argued about every month."
Plans are written once, per role. Earnings run on their own clock — earned, due, paid — with a report that shows the working, so the argument ends.
Commission"Every contract is retyped from the last one."
Upload your own Word template once. Rakeez fills in the employee and hands the document back — your wording, your layout, in Arabic.
Contracts"Nobody can reconstruct last March."
Salaries live as a dated series, not as one number that gets overwritten. Re-open any month and you get the figures that month actually had.
Salary history"Month-end lives in one person's head."
Deductions, leave balances, the payroll sheet and the export are one process anybody with the right role can run — and roles decide who can.
Payroll & reportsPayroll
When somebody joins an Egyptian company, the only figure they actually know is what lands in their account. Ask them for a gross and HR invents one by adding back deductions nobody can name — and the invented number then gets treated as a fact.
You type the net you agreed with the person. Rakeez works out the gross — not by adding a percentage, but by solving it against the rules in force that month. The rule of thumb is wrong by over a thousand pounds a month on this salary.
A salary is a dated series, not a current value. Drag the month and watch the same person's figure stay what it was at the time.
Salma's raise landed in April. March still reads 12,000.00 — in July, and in every month after it.
What it does
Everything below is built and running. Turn on what your company needs and add the rest when you want it.
Employees, branches, departments, positions and teams — the record everything else hangs off.
employees on one company's record
Check in from a phone with the location recorded, at a branch or on site. Shifts, lateness and absence — per person and per branch, with a photo and a map on every punch.
Leave types you define, with the allowance you set, and an approval path with a record of who said yes.
Net, deductions, payable. Effective-dated salaries, deductions with reasons, and the export.
Plans per role, earnings on their own earned-due-paid clock, and a report that shows the working. Paid separately from salary.
Your own Word template, filled in and handed back in Arabic. Employee documents behind expiring links, kept rather than deleted.
A monthly budget, recurring bills that chase themselves, a spend ledger and a report. VAT is typed from the invoice, never computed.
Tell everyone, and see who has read it — in the panel and in the app.
Payroll, attendance, commission and expenses — read at a date, filtered by branch, and out to Excel in the shape your accountant already works in.
Post a job, take applications with the CV attached, and move each one from new to shortlisted, interviewed, rejected or hired — with every applicant kept against the company that posted it.
Self-service
Every question staff bring to HR — what did I get paid, how much leave is left, did my check-in register — answered on their own phone, in Arabic.
The branch, a site visit, a client's office. The location is recorded with the check-in.
Net, deductions, payable — and the months before it. No email, no request.
Balance, request, approval, and where it got to — without walking to a desk.
Language
Most HR software sold into Egypt is an English product with Arabic poured in afterwards — mirrored badly, tracked like Latin, and worded by whoever was available. Rakeez was built in both languages at once.
Your data
Every record carries your company and every query is scoped to it. Not a convention — a rule enforced in the data layer, with a test on every model proving one company cannot read another's rows.
Contracts, IDs and certificates are never served from a guessable address. Links are signed, time-limited, and only issued to someone entitled to the file.
Salaries, contracts and approvals are dated series. Changing today's figure never edits last year's, and the record of who changed what stays.
Every amount is held in piastres as a whole number, never a decimal a rounding error can reach. A payroll product that loses half a piastre is a payroll product you cannot use.
