Zaffre HRM is an all-in-one HR and operations software platform by Zaffre Tech. It unifies HR, payroll, attendance, leave, remote-work monitoring, procurement, petty cash, project management, helpdesk and secure client communication in one connected system. Its standout feature is a dual payroll engine that runs local (PKR) and remittance (foreign currency) salaries in a single payroll run.

Who is Zaffre HRM for?

Small businesses, startups and growing companies of 5 to a few hundred employees — particularly those that have outgrown spreadsheets and disconnected SaaS tools. Strong fit for Pakistan-based companies and any team paying employees in multiple currencies.

What makes Zaffre HRM different from other HR and HCM platforms?

Most HR platforms cover HR and payroll well but leave operations (procurement, petty cash, projects, helpdesk, remote monitoring, client communication) to other tools. Zaffre HRM includes those natively and links every module together — a leave approval updates attendance and payroll, an employee exit triggers asset recovery and final settlement, and a client onboarding flows into billing. It also has a market-unique dual payroll engine.

Does Zaffre HRM support payroll in multiple currencies?

Yes. The dual payroll engine runs local-currency (PKR) salaries and remittance-currency (foreign) salaries together in a single payroll cycle — this is the platform's signature feature and is rare in the market.

Does Zaffre HRM include remote employee monitoring?

Yes, natively. A Tauri-based desktop agent captures login/logout, active hours, application and website usage, and periodic screenshots, and powers productivity-based attendance. It is not a third-party add-on.

Does Zaffre HRM have a mobile app?

Yes — a companion mobile app (Expo / React Native) for attendance, leave, payslips, chat and approvals, with real-time push notifications via FCM.

How is Zaffre HRM priced?

Transparent per-employee, per-module monthly pricing. Modules can be turned on or off per company. Designed to be cheaper in aggregate than the 6+ tools it replaces.

Where is Zaffre HRM based?

Zaffre Tech, the company behind Zaffre HRM, is headquartered in Pakistan and serves customers globally — with strong adoption in Pakistan, UAE and Saudi Arabia.

Employee Handbook Template Pakistan 2026 | Sections Required

An employee handbook is the document that defines what working at your company actually means — beyond the employment letter. It is the source of truth when disputes arise, the orientation for new hires, the compliance reference for inspectors. Here are the 15 essential sections every Pakistani SMB handbook must include in 2026.

The 15 essential handbook sections

Brief — company history, mission, values, structure. Sets the tone.

2. Equal opportunity + anti-discrimination policy

Clear statement against discrimination based on gender, religion, ethnicity, disability. Sexual harassment policy with clear definition and reporting mechanism (Protection Against Harassment of Women at the Workplace Act 2010 compliance).

3. Employment categories

Permanent, probationary, contract, contractor — definitions and rights of each.

11. Monitoring + data privacy

12. Disciplinary policy

Ladder (counselling → written warning → final warning → suspension → termination). Due process at each step. See: disciplinary framework.

13. Grievance mechanism

How to raise concerns, who to escalate to, timeline for resolution, protection against retaliation.

14. Exit process

Notice period, exit clearance, asset recovery, final settlement timeline. See: resignation handling.

15. Acknowledgement page

What handbooks usually get wrong

200 pages of legalese nobody reads
Copied from another company without adapting to your context
Out of date — references obsolete tools or policies
No acknowledgement record — disputes have no proof of receipt

What good handbooks do

One-screen sections rather than wall-of-text
Plain English (or plain Urdu where appropriate)
Searchable digital format accessible from mobile
Annual review and update
Acknowledgement on every material update
Linked to the actual policy enforcement in HR software

Pakistani-specific compliance in handbook

Statutory leave entitlements per provincial law
Maternity / paternity leave per the 2023 Act
EOBI + provincial SS coverage
