Why teams switch
Spreadsheets don't survive 250 employees across 6 branches
Three things break first. WorkNest fixes them in the first month.
Payroll that ties back to hours
Overtime, deductions and loan installments flow from the same attendance data, with an audit trail per payslip.
Run closed in 2 daysApprovals that leave a record
Build the chain once — leave, overtime, expenses, loans — and every decision is timestamped against a named approver.

Your team signs in and handles attendance, requests, payroll and reporting from one place.
Week 2
Questions buyers ask us first
Can we keep our current payroll provider?
Yes. Export the approved hours and deductions per period, or use the API — WorkNest owns the attendance truth either way.
How long does implementation take?
Two weeks is typical for a few hundred employees: one week to configure policies, one to run a parallel cycle.
Does it work for field crews without desks?
That is the common case. Check-ins are geofenced from the mobile app, and supervisors fix exceptions on site.
Is the interface available in Arabic?
Fully, including right-to-left layout. Each employee picks their own language; reports export in either.
Who can see salary data?
Only roles you grant the payroll permissions to. Access is module-level and scoped per tenant.
What happens to our data if we leave?
You export everything — people, attendance, payslips and documents — in open formats, at any time.
