Zoho People for Lebanon, CNSS Payroll, Labour Law & EOSI for Beirut SMBs

Lebanese payroll is unique, CNSS contributions in LBP, base salaries in USD, fresh-cash allowances negotiated case by case, and Labour Law audits expecting flawless paperwork. Zoho People, configured for Lebanon, gives Beirut SMBs payroll that handles dual currency and CNSS natively. Here's the setup.

Configure Lebanese Labour Law employment terms

Set contract types per Lebanese Labour Law (Decree 1943 with amendments). Probation max 3 months. Working hours 48/week, 36/week during Ramadan for Muslim staff. Zoho People enforces statutory limits in onboarding so contracts go out compliant from day one.

Calculate CNSS contributions and dual-currency payroll

CNSS contributions (23.5% employer, 3% employee for various funds) auto-calculate. Most Beirut SMBs pay base salary in USD with a fresh-cash allowance; Zoho People handles dual-currency payslips with both USD and LBP at the agreed conversion rate.

Handle end-of-service indemnity per Labour Law

EOSI: 1 month basic salary per year of service for first 3 years, escalating thereafter. Zoho People calculates on every termination preview, so finance accrues monthly. Bank file generation for Audi, Blom, Byblos and SGBL standard, with USD and LBP split honoured.
