Attendance & shiftsHR & payroll · Egypt
Rakeez holds everything about everyone who works for you — hiring, attendance, leave, commission, expenses and the payroll sheet — in one system, in Arabic and English. Your accountant's figures, recorded and paid.
| Employee | Net | Deductions | Payable |
|---|---|---|---|
| Nour Adel | 12,000.00 | 450.00 | 11,550.00 |
| Kareem Fathy | 9,500.00 | 0.00 | 9,500.00 |
| Salma Hany | 14,200.00 | 1,200.00 | 13,000.00 |
Net minus deductions equals payable. Nothing on this sheet was computed from law.
Egyptian companies, Egyptian working weeks, Egyptian holidays.
Every screen, both directions. Not a translation layer.
Contracts, documents and salary history kept as long as the law asks.
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 an audit trail says who did.
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.
That is the whole sheet. The net is what you agreed with the person. The deductions are the ones you recorded — an advance, a penalty, unpaid days. The payable is the subtraction.
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, absence and worked hours — per person and per branch.
Leave types you define, balances that carry, and an approval path with a record of who said yes.
Net, deductions, payable. Effective-dated salaries, payslips 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 five years.
A monthly budget, recurring bills that chase themselves, a spend ledger and a report. VAT is typed from the invoice, never computed.
Tell everyone, or one branch, and see it land 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 people through your own stages — 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.
Customer
"We had the salaries in one spreadsheet, attendance in another, and commission in a third that only one person understood. Now it is one screen — and I can open last March."
