How it works

How Fariq works

A simple guide for HR, for managers and for every employee.

Fariq keeps the people side of the company in one place: who works here, when they work, when they are on leave, which papers must be renewed and how the salary is calculated.

🎯 1. What is Fariq?

Fariq is an HR system. It remembers everything about your employees: the name, the department, the job, the salary, the working time and the papers.

It also does the daily work: attendance, leave requests, document expiry and the monthly payroll.

💡Every employee has a number, for example EMP-00042.

👥 2. Who uses Fariq?

There are four kinds of users:

💡An employee sees only their own data. HR sees everybody.

🔑 3. How do I sign in?

  1. Open the address of Fariq in your browser.
  2. Write your username or your email, and your password.
  3. Click “Sign in”.

Your account is made by HR or the administrator.

🧑‍💼 4. How do I add a new employee?

  1. Click “Employees” and then “New employee”.
  2. Write the personal data: name, phone, email, nationality, address and the emergency contact.
  3. Choose the department, the position and the manager.
  4. Write the joining date and the contract type. For a limited contract, write the end date.
  5. Write the salary: basic salary and the allowances (housing, transport, other).
  6. Write the bank and the IBAN if the salary is paid by bank transfer.
  7. Click “Create employee”.
💡Fariq gives the employee number automatically and creates the leave balance for this year.

🕘 5. Attendance — every day

“Attendance” has two views: one day for the whole company, and one month for one employee.

  1. Open “Attendance”. Choose the day (today is the default).
  2. Write the check-in and check-out time for each person, or choose a status: present, remote, absent, sick, leave.
  3. Press “Save” in the row. Fariq calculates the worked time, the late minutes and the overtime by itself.
  4. Use “Mark everybody present” to fill a normal day in one click, then correct the exceptions.
💡Weekend days and public holidays are marked automatically. They are never counted as absence.

⏰ 6. Late and overtime

Fariq compares the check-in time with the working time in the settings (for example 09:00) and gives a small grace period.

💡The overtime is paid in the payroll with the rate from the settings (for example 1.25 of a normal hour).

🌴 7. Leave — request and approval

For the employee:

  1. Open “My leave” and press “Request leave”.
  2. Choose the leave type, the first day, the last day and write a reason.
  3. Press “Send”. Fariq shows how many days will remain.

For the manager or HR:

  1. Open “Leave requests”. The requests that wait are on the top.
  2. Read the dates and the balance of the employee.
  3. Press “Approve” or “Reject” and write a comment if you want.
💡Fariq counts only working days. Weekend days and holidays are free. The balance goes down only after the approval.

📅 8. Who is off?

“Who is off” shows all approved leave in a period. Use it before you plan a meeting or a deadline.

📄 9. Documents and expiry dates

Every employee has documents: passport, visa, Emirates ID, labour card, health insurance, certificates.

  1. Open the employee and the tab “Documents”.
  2. Choose the document type, write the number and the expiry date, and attach the file (PDF or photo, max 5 MB).
  3. Fariq warns HR some days before the expiry date. The number of days is a setting.
💡An expired visa or ID is a real problem. Please keep these dates correct.

💵 10. Payroll — every month

  1. Open “Payroll” and choose the month. Press “Start a payroll run”.
  2. Fariq builds one payslip per employee: basic salary, allowances, overtime, minus absence and unpaid leave.
  3. Check the numbers. You can add another deduction with a reason (for example a loan).
  4. Press “Approve payroll” when everything is correct. After that the run cannot be changed.
  5. Pay the salaries and press “Mark as paid”.
  6. Download the bank file (CSV) to send the payments to the bank.

Every employee can open their own payslips in “My payslips”.

💡A draft run can be recalculated or deleted. An approved run is locked — that is your protection.

🧾 11. End of service benefit (gratuity)

When an employee leaves the company, Fariq calculates the end of service benefit.

You see the amount on the employee page. The rules and the basis (basic salary or full salary) are in the settings.

💡This is a calculation help, not a legal advice. Please check your local labour law.

🔔 12. What does the bell mean?

Fariq looks at the dates every day and warns the right people:

📊 13. Reports

“Reports” answers the questions of the management:

With “Export CSV” you can open the numbers in Excel.

🛠️ 14. Legal and good practice

💡Please check your local labour law for working hours, leave days and the end of service benefit.
