Payroll that calculates itself from attendance

Most attendance tools leave you with a spreadsheet of hours and the manual headache of turning those hours into monthly salaries. Dawmly eliminates that gap entirely. Built directly on top of real attendance records, Dawmly computes full salary profiles, allowances, deductions, overtime multipliers, and absence deductions automatically. Payroll calculation is built into Dawmly starting from the Growth plan at 175 EGP per employee per month, with no hidden add-ons.

From clock-in to payslip, without re-keying

When employees check in via GPS, kiosk PIN, or selfie verification, every timestamp is recorded against their shift schedule. At the end of the payroll cycle, manager-approved attendance hours flow straight into the calculation engine. Worked hours, approved overtime, late penalties, and unpaid absence are converted directly into monetary figures based on each worker’s salary structure. There is no manual data transfer, no formula corruption in Excel, and no re-keying errors before payout day.

A worked example

Here is an illustrative breakdown of how a single employee's monthly payslip is calculated in Dawmly. Every component line item is clearly itemised so both management and staff understand how the final net pay figure was derived.

Salary components you define once

Every business structures compensation differently. Dawmly lets you configure custom salary components tailored to your organisation. Each component is defined as an allowance or a deduction, set either as a fixed monetary amount or as a percentage of the employee’s basic salary. Crucially, each component includes a taxable flag and a recurring flag, allowing one-off bonuses or single-month penalties to fit seamlessly into the standard monthly run without messing up future templates.

Four overtime rates, set once

Labor laws and regional norms in MENA mandate different rates depending on when extra hours are worked. Dawmly supports four independent, tenant-wide overtime multipliers:

• Day Overtime: Standard extra hours worked beyond normal daily shift limits.
• Night Overtime: Hours worked during designated nighttime windows.
• Rest Day Work: Shifts worked on weekly rest days (e.g., Friday or Saturday).
• Public Holiday Work: Work performed on official state or religious holidays.

Once configured at the tenant level, Dawmly automatically categorises extra hours and computes the exact overtime pay for every employee during each payroll run.

Payslips your team can actually read

Transparency reduces payroll inquiries and builds trust with your workforce. When a payroll run is finalized, Dawmly generates itemised payslips showing basic salary, allowances, overtime breakdowns, deductions, absence penalties, and net pay. Employees can view their own payslips anytime directly inside the Dawmly mobile app on iOS and Android. Staff see only their personal financial records, secured by modern authentication.

Arabic-first payroll, built to work anywhere

Dawmly was created in Cairo and works for businesses, with first-class Arabic RTL support, native currency handling for Egyptian Pounds (EGP), and preset weekend schedules matching local employment norms. Furthermore, payroll is fully branch-aware: because employees are linked to specific workplace branches, financial managers can execute and audit payroll for individual locations or roll up results across the entire enterprise.

Or export it and calculate elsewhere

If your business already uses external accounting software or works with an outside audit firm, Dawmly won't lock you in. You can generate clean, payroll-ready CSV and Excel exports with a single click. For custom enterprise workflows, Dawmly provides a public REST API and HMAC-signed webhooks starting from the Starter plan, letting you stream attendance and payroll calculations into any ERP or external ledger seamlessly.
