What was actually said
“We are considering using Zoho People for HR management, attendance, leave, overtime, and employee records for a company in Egypt. The main issue is that Zoho Payroll is not available in Egypt. We mainly need a reliable monthly payroll output: salary, attendance deductions, unpaid leave, overtime, penalties, bonuses, and net payable.”
