Wanas Payroll features

Every feature of Wanas Payroll, organized by what you do with it: from syncing Zoho People to Egyptian social insurance and tax, pay runs, payslips, bank files and end of service.

Zoho People integration

Wanas Payroll reads your people data from Zoho People, so employees, attendance and leave are entered once and payroll always works from the same records.

One-click Zoho sign-in

A Zoho People administrator signs in with Zoho and approves a single read-only consent. Wanas Payroll never changes anything in your Zoho records.

Employees, custom fields and photos

Employee records, your own custom fields and profile photos come from Zoho People, so you never keep a second employee list.

Attendance, leave and holidays

Bulk attendance reports, leave and the holidays of each work location are read from Zoho People and feed every pay run.

Nightly and on-demand sync

Data refreshes automatically every night. Sync again with one click right before you calculate.

Super Admin detection

Zoho Directory and Zoho One identify your organization's Super Admin, so ownership of the payroll account is clear from day one.

Shift schedules

Shift assignments from Zoho People will arrive with the sync, so attendance rules can follow each employee's shift.

Egyptian payroll engine

Statutory deductions are calculated from versioned rule sets that follow Egyptian social insurance and income tax law, so a change in the law is a rule update, not a rewrite.

Social insurance, Law 148/2019

Employee 11% and employer 18.75% contributions, applied within the insurable wage limits of EGP 2,700 and EGP 16,700.

Universal Health Insurance and martyrs' fund

The Universal Health Insurance contribution and the martyrs' fund are calculated alongside every other statutory deduction.

Income tax, Law 7/2024

Progressive brackets, the EGP 20,000 exemption, the high-income phase-out and rounding to EGP 10, all applied as the law describes.

ETA tax treatments 01 to 05

Earnings and deductions carry the Egyptian Tax Authority treatment codes, ready for ETA payroll tax reporting.

Net-to-gross

Agree a net salary with a candidate and the engine works out the gross that delivers it after insurance and tax.

Retro pay and additional payrolls

Pay back-dated raises as retro amounts, and run an additional payroll for bonuses or corrections without disturbing the monthly run.

Minimum wage checks

Anyone paid below the statutory minimum wage is flagged before you approve the run.

Pay runs and approvals

Each month is a pay run with a clear life cycle: calculate, review, approve, lock and pay. Every step is controlled and recorded in the audit log.

Calculate and rerun

Calculate the whole payroll in one step, then rerun all employees or just one after a correction.

Adjustments and CSV import

Add one-off earnings and deductions by hand, or import them in bulk from a CSV file.

Maker-checker approval

One person prepares the run and a second person approves it, so no payroll is approved by the person who made it.

Lock, reopen and mark paid

Lock an approved run to freeze its figures, reopen it if something must change, and mark it paid when the transfers are done.

Attendance coverage gate

The run checks that attendance covers the whole period before it can be approved, so nobody is paid from incomplete records.

Run integrity

Payslips, bank files and reports are built from the stored results of the approved run, so every output matches the figures that were approved.

Attendance and leave rules

Turn the attendance and leave you track in Zoho People into pay. You define the rules once and they are applied the same way to every employee.

Late arrival tiers

Set tiers for lateness, each with its own deduction, and apply them automatically from attendance.

Early leave

Deduct early departures by the same clear rules instead of by hand.

Absence

Unexcused absence is deducted per day using your own policy.

Overtime multipliers

Pay overtime hours at the multipliers you define.

Unpaid and part-paid leave

Map each Zoho People leave type to full pay, part pay or unpaid, and the deduction follows.

Weekends and holidays paid

Weekends and public holidays stay paid days, so monthly salaries are not reduced for days off.

Shift alignment

Attendance will be compared with each employee's scheduled shift before the rules are applied.

Compensation and benefits

Model how your company really pays: your own salary components, a ready Egyptian catalogue of allowances and deductions, and a dated history of every raise.

Salary components per company

Build the pay structure your company uses: basic pay, allowances and any component you define, each with its own tax and insurance treatment.

157-item Egyptian catalogue

Start from a catalogue of 157 Egyptian earnings and deductions, each with its income tax, social insurance and ETA treatment.

Flexible allowance calculation

Calculate an allowance as a fixed amount, a percentage of basic pay, or a quantity times a rate per day, hour or unit.

Mobile-bill excess

Deduct only the part of a mobile bill that exceeds the employee's allowance.

Reimbursements

Pay back actual expenses outside gross pay and income tax.

In-kind benefits

Record benefits such as a company car, taxed on their value without appearing as cash in net pay.

Salary versions and raise batches

Every salary change is a dated version. Plan raises for many employees at once, approve them and generate the raise letters.

Staff loans

Lend to employees and deduct the instalments automatically, with deductions capped at 10% of wages.

Medical insurance plans

Define plans with employee and employer premiums, enrol employees, and let the premiums flow into payroll.

Payslips, bank files and reports

When a run is approved, everything that leaves payroll is produced from the approved figures: payslips, bank transfer files and reports.

Bilingual payslip PDFs

Arabic, English or both on one page, with the net pay written out in words.

Employee self-service

Employees sign in with Zoho to read and download their own payslips once released, and nobody else's.

Payslip email delivery

Optionally email employees when their payslip is ready. The email links to the portal and carries no amounts.

Bank transfer files

Files for CIB, QNB, Banque Misr and NBE, plus a generic CSV, from the payroll bank account of each company, frozen when the run is approved. Column layouts are editable and should be confirmed with your bank.

Payroll reports

Payroll register, social insurance, tax, year-end, loans, medical premiums and cost by department, on screen or as CSV.

Foreign-currency salaries

Employees paid in a foreign currency will be supported alongside Egyptian pound payroll.

End of service

Settle a leaver's final pay from the same data as the monthly payroll, under the current Labour Law.

Final settlement, Labour Law 14/2025

Calculate a leaver's final settlement under Labour Law 14/2025 and issue a statement PDF.

Leavers report

See every employee who left in a period together with their settlement.

Dashboard and control

Oversight for business owners and finance heads.

Real-time dashboard

A live view of headcount, payroll cost and the state of the current run.

Audit log viewer

Browse and filter the audit log from inside the app.

Data export

Export your organization data in open formats whenever you need it.

Security and privacy

Payroll is some of the most sensitive data a company holds. Wanas Payroll is built so that each organization's data stays its own.

Tenant isolation

Every record belongs to one organization and can only be read by that organization's users.

Encrypted sensitive data

National IDs, IBANs and access tokens are encrypted with AES-GCM before they are stored.

Audit log

Sensitive actions such as approvals, locks and access to other people's payslips are recorded.

Roles

Administrator, payroll officer and employee roles decide who can see and change what.

Hosted on Cloudflare

Runs on Cloudflare's global network, with no servers for you to manage.

A product your whole team can use in the language and the look they prefer.
