# HR and payroll on rules you configure > Payroll, contributions, leave and attendance on rules you configure — in one system with your accounting, with no double entry. - **URL:** https://www.snad.io/global/en/hr - **Part of:** Snad — every app runs on the same database and is included in every plan (https://www.snad.io/global/en/pricing) ## What the HR app covers - Complete employee files: contract, job title, salary, documents - Automatic monthly payroll with allowances and deductions - Contributions and deductions at rates you configure per employee category - End-of-service benefits on a configurable accrual rule - Leave management: annual, sick, Hajj, maternity, and emergency - Attendance tracking: check-in/out, absences, and tardiness - Automatic accounting entries on payroll close - HR reports: employee costs, performance evaluation, history - Overtime priced on a configurable multiplier, inside the same monthly run - Leave balances accrue automatically — 21 days a year, 30 after five years of service - Limited employee access: their own payslip, leave balance, and requests - Payroll for every branch from one account, with payslips you can export and share ## When do you need HR software? Five signs that spreadsheets no longer fit your team - **A team in more than one country and a single payroll run:** Contracts differ by country, and allowances and deductions differ with them. A payroll run that accepts separate rules per location ends the habit of calculating each team apart and then merging them into a file. - **Salaries in several currencies, books in one:** When salary is paid in the employee's currency and posted in the books' currency, the entry needs a historical rate rather than today's. Software that stores it makes team cost comparable across months. - **End-of-service liability is unknown until someone resigns:** Accrued liability is a number sitting in your books whether or not you calculate it. When it only surfaces at the end of a contract it becomes a cash surprise — the software keeps it calculated and visible at all times. - **Employee data is scattered:** A contract in a folder, a leave balance in a sheet, an advance in a chat thread, and a salary in a fourth file. When someone asks for an employee's leave balance, a search begins instead of an answer. - **Nobody knows the true cost of an employee:** Salary is not cost: allowances, deductions and accrued entitlements all belong in it. When they are not read together, hiring decisions get made on half the number. ## Payroll software or full HR? The difference is not computing the salary but what feeds it and what comes out of it | Aspect | Payroll software | HR in Snad | | --- | --- | --- | | What it solves | Computing salaries and producing a monthly run | The full employee lifecycle, from hiring to end of service | | Employee data | Whatever payroll needs: wage, allowances, deductions | A complete record: contract, documents, leave, attendance, advances, custody | | Multiple branches | One rule set for everyone | Allowance and deduction rules configured per branch | | Attendance and leave | Entered by hand as a payroll input | Recorded and reflected in the run automatically | | End of service | Computed when someone resigns | Always computed and visible as an accrued liability | | Accounting impact | Posted by hand into the accounting software | The close entry reaches the books with nothing carried across | Computing the salary is the easy part. The hard parts are what feeds it — attendance, leave and advances — and what comes out of it: the accounting entry and the accrued liability. ## Questions about HR and payroll ### Can payroll rules be configured for my country? Yes. Allowances, deductions, contribution rates and the end-of-service accrual rule are all configurable in HR settings, and the payroll run applies them to every employee at once. ### How does Snad calculate contributions and deductions? You define the rates once in settings — a rate per employee category — and Snad applies them automatically in every run, generating ready monthly reports. ### Can I track attendance in Snad? Yes, Snad supports check-in/out, absence, and tardiness logging, with automatic impact on monthly salary. ### Can employees access their payslips? Employees can be granted limited access to view payslips, submit leave requests, and track balances electronically. ### Which plan includes the HR and Payroll module? HR & Payroll — like every other Snad app — is available in every plan, subject to your plan's app limit (3 apps in Starter, 5 in Basic, no limit in Pro). Pro ($99/mo, 5 users, all apps with no limit) is the typical choice for HR-heavy teams, and you can raise the user count at $5 per additional user per month. ### How does Snad calculate an employee's net pay? It starts from the basic salary on the employee's file, adds fixed allowances such as housing and transport plus any overtime hours, then subtracts absences, late arrivals, recorded deductions, and the employee's contribution share. What is left is the net figure on the payslip, and every line is itemised on screen before you approve the run. ### Which part of the salary are contributions calculated on? You choose the basis on the employee file: the basic salary alone or with specific allowances added, with a floor and a ceiling you set. Snad builds that base from the file itself, so it is not re-entered each month. ### How is end-of-service pay worked out when someone resigns? The award is half a month's wage for each of the first five years and a full month's wage for every year after that. On an open-ended contract, a resignation pays one third of it from two to five years of service, two thirds from five to ten, and the full award after ten years. Snad applies those tiers to the service dates on file. ### Does the HR app work offline? No. HR and payroll are cloud-based and need a connection — like every other Snad app: you open them in a browser on a phone or a laptop with nothing to install, and the data lives in the cloud rather than on one machine, so it survives a lost device and never has to be moved between machines by hand. ### Can I run payroll for several branches from one account? Yes. Employees are managed centrally from the same company account however many branches you run, and you get consolidated reports plus a breakdown per branch. Closing the payroll run posts the cost entries to accounting automatically, so each month's payroll cost lands in the income statement, and payslips export per employee. ## What Snad does for a business outside Saudi Arabia - **Tax rate:** configurable. You set the rate that applies to your invoices; it then applies to subsequent invoices and is shown separately from net sales in reports. Snad applies the configured rate and does not determine which rate is correct for a given business. - **Invoicing currency:** you choose the currency your customers are invoiced in. It is independent of the currency you are billed in for the subscription (USD outside Saudi Arabia). - **Government e-invoicing portals:** direct integration is available inside Saudi Arabia only. Elsewhere Snad issues invoices with sequential numbering and a QR code, keeps the archive and exports in standard formats, with no direct link to a national portal. - **Interface:** Arabic and English, per user, in the same account. --- ## About the publisher **Snad (سند)** — Sole proprietorship, founded 2025.
