From a spreadsheet-driven WPS run to one-click compliance.

A Qatari construction group standardised HR, attendance and payroll — and cut monthly WPS preparation from three days to under an hour.

This is an illustrative case study — the customer name and quote are placeholders until we publish a story from a real pilot customer. The capabilities described (WPS, gratuity, Arabic self-service, multi-site rosters) ship in WorkMind today.

Customer story

Challenge

Six sites, one spreadsheet, three days of month-end

Al-Faisal Group ran attendance on paper timesheets at each of six sites. Payroll consolidated them into a master spreadsheet that fed WPS SIF file creation by hand.

Every month the same problems: a bad QID digit rejected the file, a missing allowance broke the basic/allowance ratio, and end-of-service payments got tangled with regular wages.

Solution

One system across sites, validated at source

Biometric check-in went into WorkMind at every site, feeding straight into the payroll cycle. QID and IBAN were validated on hire — not on payroll close — so bad data never reached the SIF.

Leavers were routed through a dedicated final-settlement flow so end-of-service gratuity produced a separate SIF, exactly the way the bank expects.

Results

Month-end back to a rounding error

Payroll closes on the 25th and the SIF exports the same day. The bank has accepted every submission on first attempt since go-live.

Site managers no longer chase paper timesheets. The HR team runs the cycle in an afternoon and spends the freed time on onboarding and Q-planning.

Customer quote

Illustrative

We used to burn the last week of every month on payroll. Now the SIF file exports on the day we close the cycle and the bank takes it first time.
