Managing payroll in Lebanon has never been simple, especially with fluctuating exchange rates, compliance with NSSF and end-of-service indemnities, and the ever-changing tax landscape. For many small and medium-sized businesses, payroll has remained stuck in spreadsheets, manual data entry, and outdated local software that lacks integration or scalability.
But that’s changing fast.
Lebanese companies are increasingly moving their HR and payroll operations to cloud-based systems, and Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central is leading the charge.
The Problem with Traditional Payroll in Lebanon
Let’s face it: traditional payroll systems in Lebanon are no longer fit for purpose. Here’s why:
❌ Manual errors: Spreadsheets and siloed systems are error-prone.
❌ Compliance risk: Staying up-to-date with Lebanese labor law and NSSF calculations takes constant manual tracking.
❌ Lack of integration: HR, finance, and time-tracking are often disconnected.
❌ No remote access: In today’s hybrid work world, desktop-bound tools are a barrier to productivity.
