Rather than offer you a tool that cannot meet your legal obligations, Wanas Apps takes a transparent, practical approach: we build a **connected HR and finance workflow** that keeps your data clean, your records audit-ready, and your accountant or local payroll bureau fully equipped to handle the statutory calculations. ### The Lebanese Labour Law & NSSF Reality Every employer registered with the **Lebanese Commercial Register** must comply with the Lebanese Labour Law governing employment contracts, end-of-service indemnities, working hours, and termination procedures. Alongside this, the **National Social Security Fund (NSSF)** mandates employer and employee contributions covering sickness and maternity, family allowances, and end-of-service benefits. These calculations require a licensed local payroll specialist — and that is exactly who your Zoho-powered workflow feeds. ### The Dual-Currency Challenge Lebanon's economic environment means many businesses price, invoice, and pay salaries in **USD** alongside **LBP**. Zoho Books is configured for **multi-currency and dual-pricing**, so your salary journals, expense records, and VAT-applicable transactions (Lebanon applies **11% VAT**) are recorded accurately in whichever currency applies. Since e-invoicing is not mandated in Lebanon, there is no additional portal or QR-code requirement to worry about — your Zoho Books setup focuses on clean bookkeeping and VAT compliance at the rate your business applies. ### How the Workflow Operates **Step 1 — Employee Records in Zoho People:** All staff data — contracts, job grades, bank details, leave entitlements, and document expiry dates — are stored and managed in Zoho People. This becomes your single source of truth, replacing scattered spreadsheets common in Beirut SMEs and fast-growing tech startups. **Step 2 — Attendance & Leave Tracking:** Zoho People captures daily attendance, approved leave, and overtime inputs. For import/export traders with field or warehouse staff, mobile check-in and shift scheduling keep records accurate without manual intervention. **Step 3 — Payroll Input Export:** At the end of each pay cycle, a structured payroll input report — headcount, working days, leave deductions, overtime, and any allowances — is exported from Zoho People and handed to your local payroll provider or accountant. They apply the correct NSSF rates and Labour Law deductions and return the final net-pay figures. **Step 4 — Salary Journals in Zoho Books:** Approved payroll figures are posted as salary journal entries in Zoho Books, reconciled against your LBP and USD bank accounts. VAT on any reimbursable expenses is captured at 11%, keeping your books clean for any Ministry of Finance review. This architecture means Lebanese businesses registered with the **Lebanese Commercial Register** maintain full HR visibility inside Zoho's cloud platform while ensuring statutory compliance sits with qualified local professionals — exactly where it belongs. ### Who This Is For - **Beirut SMEs** looking to replace manual HR spreadsheets with a structured system - **Technology startups** scaling headcount quickly and needing auditable leave and attendance records - **Import/export traders** managing multi-currency payrolls and needing clean salary journals in Zoho Books ## What you get - Zoho People configured for Lebanese Labour Law contract types and leave policies - Attendance, shift scheduling, and overtime tracking for office and field staff - Structured payroll input reports exported for your local NSSF-compliant payroll provider - Salary journal posting to Zoho Books in LBP and USD multi-currency - 11% VAT tracking on expenses and reimbursements within Zoho Books - No e-invoicing mandate in Lebanon — straightforward Books setup focused on VAT compliance - Employee document management: contract renewals, ID expiry, and NSSF registration records - Remote implementation and support from Wanas Apps' Dubai office — no local office required FAQ ## Frequently asked questions ### Can Zoho Payroll calculate NSSF contributions for Lebanese employees?
