Business owners in Saudi Arabia moving off Excel
Track attendance, leave and a SAR salary ledger in one dashboard instead of a spreadsheet.
HR and Payroll Software for Saudi Arabia
WatheeqaHR supports Saudi companies with a SAR salary ledger, attendance import, leave management, and Saudi-specific end-of-service, overtime and GOSI contribution calculations. End-of-service follows Labor Law Articles 84-87; overtime follows Article 107's flat 150% rate on the full contractual wage using a fixed ÷240 divisor, rather than the UAE's dynamic per-company divisor; GOSI contributions follow the published Annuities rates for Saudi/GCC nationals and the flat 2% employer-only occupational-hazard contribution for other expatriates. All three figures are calculated estimates for your HR team or accountant to confirm — WatheeqaHR does not file GOSI contributions or any other statutory submission in Saudi Arabia, and does not claim Saudi data residency.
Features
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| SAR salary ledger | Basic salary, allowances, overtime, deductions, advances and net salary tracked in Saudi riyals |
| End-of-service estimate | Calculated per Labor Law Articles 84-87 — a labeled estimate, corroborated against multiple secondary sources rather than a direct HRSD integration |
| Overtime at the legally fixed rate | 150% of the full contractual wage per Article 107, using the law's fixed ÷240 monthly divisor — a different calculation method from the UAE's dynamic per-company divisor |
| GOSI contribution estimate | Saudi/GCC-national employees follow the Annuities branch rates on a basic+housing contribution base up to the SAR 45,000/month ceiling; other expatriate employees get a flat 2% employer-only occupational-hazard contribution with no employee deduction |
| Attendance import | The same biometric-device CSV/Excel import used for UAE companies, available for Saudi entities |
| Manual sick/maternity review | A sick or maternity leave request blocks payroll approval until HR decides full, partial or unpaid pay for that request |
Who uses this
HR teams calculating end-of-service and overtime
Use the Article 84-87 and Article 107 estimates as a starting point, then confirm the final figures before paying them out.
Accountants reconciling GOSI contributions
Use the Annuities/occupational-hazard estimate as a cross-check against what's actually remitted to GOSI, not as the filing itself.
Compliance disclaimer
WatheeqaHR's Saudi Arabia end-of-service, overtime and GOSI figures are calculated estimates based on Saudi Labor Law and GOSI's published rate structure, corroborated against secondary sources rather than a direct HRSD or GOSI API integration. They require review by your HR team or accountant before use. WatheeqaHR does not file GOSI contributions, represent these figures as government-certified, or claim that production data is hosted in Saudi Arabia — WatheeqaHR's infrastructure runs on AWS in Frankfurt, Germany.
Frequently asked questions
Does WatheeqaHR calculate Saudi end-of-service (gratuity) automatically?
Yes, using the formula in Labor Law Articles 84-87. This is a calculated estimate for your review, not a certified or government-verified figure — confirm the final payout with your HR team or accountant.
How is overtime calculated for Saudi employees?
At the legally fixed 150% rate on the employee's full contractual wage, using the law's fixed ÷240 monthly divisor — different from the UAE's dynamic divisor, which is based on each company's own configured working days.
Does WatheeqaHR handle GOSI contributions?
WatheeqaHR estimates the GOSI contribution — Annuities rates for Saudi/GCC nationals, a flat 2% employer-only occupational-hazard contribution for other expatriates — as an internal reference figure. It does not file or remit GOSI contributions; that remains your company's responsibility through the official GOSI channel.
Does WatheeqaHR store or process data inside Saudi Arabia?
No. WatheeqaHR's production infrastructure runs on AWS in Frankfurt, Germany. It does not offer or claim Saudi (or any other GCC) data residency.
Is there a WPS-style filing for Saudi Arabia in WatheeqaHR?
No. The WPS SIF export is UAE-only. WatheeqaHR does not generate or file an equivalent statutory submission for Saudi Arabia.
