Attendance software

An employee attendance app that feeds payroll

Clock-in by phone inside the workplace or on a shared kiosk, shifts and Ramadan hours, and exceptions employees can explain before any deduction.

The short answer

RafiqHR’s employee attendance app lets staff clock in from their phone inside the workplace geofence or on a shared kiosk, with shifts, Ramadan hours and overtime, and employees explain any exception before a deduction. Attendance flows straight into payroll, from the Essentials plan at 7 SAR per employee per month.

How employees clock in

  • On their phone, at the workplace: employees clock in and out from the RafiqHR app, and a punch is only accepted inside the geofence you set for each branch or site.
  • On a shared kiosk: a device in the branch where staff record attendance, for teams where not everyone has a work phone.

Shifts and statutory hours

  • Shifts and rosters: shifts per branch or team, weekly rosters and rest days.
  • Ramadan hours: Ramadan schedules for Muslim staff of at most six hours a day and 36 a week under Article 98 of the Labour Law; anything beyond is overtime.
  • Summer hours: separate summer schedules when your company uses them.

From attendance to payroll

Attendance flows straight into the payroll run: unpaid absence, and overtime at the hourly wage plus 50% of the basic hourly wage under Article 107. When there is a late arrival, an absence or a missing punch, the employee sees it first and can explain before it reaches the manager, so nobody is deducted without a chance to respond.

What managers get

  • Approvals on the phone: managers approve exceptions, leave and overtime for their team from the app.
  • A daily view of the team: who is in, who is late and who is on leave today.
  • Rafiq AI: answers employees’ questions about their balance and roster, and gathers the team’s pending requests for the manager to approve in one place.

Price

Attendance is included from the Essentials plan at 7 SAR per employee per month, together with payroll, GOSI and the Mudad file. You can try it for 30 days with no credit card.
