What Lebanese HR software must handle

  • Dual-currency salaries. Many employers agree salaries in US dollars while NSSF contributions and income tax are declared in Lebanese pounds at an officially set rate.
  • NSSF. Contributions run across three branches: sickness and maternity, family allowances, and end-of-service indemnity, each with its own rate and cap.
  • Family allowances based on each employee's registered spouse and children.
  • Progressive income tax on salaries.
  • Frequent changes. Rates, caps and allowances change by circular, so they must be settings, not code.

Rates and caps differ between published sources and change often; always confirm them against the latest NSSF and Ministry of Finance circulars before configuring payroll.

How to choose

  1. Start from your ERP. SAP Business One points to Magnar; Odoo to Azkatech; Business Central or no ERP leaves the field open.
  2. Look at who clocks in. Shift-based and multi-site teams need geofenced attendance, rosters and punching-machine sync.
  3. Ask for a sample payslip showing USD salary, LBP declaration, NSSF branches and family allowance.
  4. Count the modules you will pay for. Recruitment and performance are often extra.
  5. Check local support in Arabic, French and English.

FAQ

What is the best HR system in Lebanon?

It depends on what you already run. For shift-based or multi-site teams that want attendance, payroll and talent in one system, Index HR. For a long-standing local payroll package, PayPoint HR or Integral. For SAP Business One users, Magnar HCM. For Odoo users, Azkatech. For Levant-wide groups, Levant HR. For Zoho users, Zoho People.

What should Lebanese HR software handle?

At minimum: salaries agreed in USD and/or LBP, NSSF contributions across its branches (sickness and maternity, family allowance, end-of-service indemnity), family allowances based on dependents, progressive income tax, and attendance. Rates, caps and the exchange rate used for declarations change by official circular, so the system must let you update them without a software change.

Can HR software in Lebanon pay salaries in both USD and LBP?

Yes, the systems in this list support multi-currency payroll. Index HR keeps each currency's totals separate in the payroll report so amounts are never mixed.

How much does HR software cost in Lebanon?

Most local vendors quote per project. Index HR publishes its price: $3 per employee per month with a minimum 15-employee package, every module included.
