Structured requests, approval chain, full history
Performance reviews are annual and often skipped
Continuous KPIs + structured appraisal cycles

Yes. Workflow Engine automates EOBI calculations for every payroll run.

Rates are reviewed and updated when the authorities revise them.
Yes. Workflow Engine calculates PESSI contributions for Punjab-based employees and SESSI for Sindh-based employees. The system uses the employee's province from their profile and applies the applicable provincial social security rates, significantly reducing manual calculation work.
Most companies are fully live within 3 to 7 business days. Setup includes employee data migration from your existing spreadsheets or HR system, payroll configuration, and EOBI/PESSI mapping. No IT team required. Our team handles the setup.
Workflow Engine is built for Pakistani SMEs with 20 to 500 employees. It handles unlimited employees on enterprise plans. The platform is used by manufacturing, retail, IT services, and professional services firms across Pakistan.
Yes. Every Workflow Engine plan includes an employee self-service portal. Employees can view payslips, apply for leave, check balances, update personal information, and download documents without contacting HR. Available on web and mobile.
Workflow Engine's payroll module calculates salary income tax deductions in line with the FBR-published salary tax slabs for the applicable fiscal year, and generates annual salary tax certificates for employees. Slab tables are updated when new rates are announced.
Workflow Engine is a modular enterprise platform, not a single-purpose HR tool. HRMS is its first module. You can add Social Media Manager, CRM, Finance, and other modules to the same platform. This means one login, one dashboard, and one data layer across your entire business operations. Unlike purchasing separate tools that don't integrate.
Workflow Engine pricing is based on employee count and the modules you need. All pricing is in PKR. No USD conversion risk. Contact us for a custom quote based on your company size. We offer monthly and annual plans with a free implementation.
