Payroll Services in Saudi Arabia — Accurate, Compliant & On-Time
Accurate, WPS-compliant payroll processing in Saudi Arabia. GOSI contributions, salary slips, leave tracking, and full labor law compliance. Trusted by businesses across KSA.
Running payroll in Saudi Arabia is more complex than it looks. Beyond calculating salaries, every payroll cycle must satisfy the Wage Protection System (WPS), GOSI contributions, Qiwa portal reporting, GOSI portal updates, end-of-service accruals, and leave balance tracking — all within tight monthly deadlines. One missed submission or miscalculated contribution can trigger Ministry of Human Resources fines, freeze your IQAMA renewals, or flag your company in the Nitaqat system.
Inclusive Solutions takes full ownership of your payroll operation in Saudi Arabia. Our payroll specialists process, verify, and deliver compliant payroll for companies across KSA — from 5-person teams to organizations with hundreds of employees. You get accurate payslips, zero compliance surprises, and a dedicated payroll manager who knows your business.

Who Is This Service For?
Companies with 5–500+ employees in Saudi Arabia
Whether you run a boutique operation or a large regional enterprise, our payroll service scales to your headcount. We handle complexity — multiple cost centers, varying contract types, multi-city teams — with the same attention to detail regardless of size.
Finance teams overwhelmed by Saudi payroll compliance
Saudi payroll involves more government portals and monthly obligations than almost any other GCC country. If your finance team is spending 2–3 days per month on payroll admin, outsourcing to Inclusive typically reduces that to under 2 hours of review time.
New market entrants needing payroll from Day 1
When you are just establishing operations in KSA, payroll infrastructure is one of the first things you need functioning correctly. We can have your payroll system live within 5–7 business days of engagement.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is WPS and why is it mandatory in Saudi Arabia?
A: The Wage Protection System (WPS) is a Saudi government initiative that requires all private sector employers to pay salaries through an approved electronic channel by a specific monthly deadline. Non-compliance blocks Iqama renewals, new visa applications, and can flag your company in the Nitaqat system. Inclusive ensures 100% WPS compliance on every payroll cycle.
Q: How is GOSI calculated for expatriate employees versus Saudi nationals?
A: For Saudi nationals, GOSI contributions are 9% from the employer and 9% from the employee (based on basic salary + housing allowance). For expatriate employees, the employer contributes 2% for occupational hazard insurance only. We calculate and reconcile both accurately every month.
Q: Can Inclusive handle payroll for employees in multiple Saudi cities?
A: Yes. We manage payroll for employees in Riyadh, Jeddah, Dammam, Khobar, and across all KSA regions from a single centralized service. There is no additional complexity or cost for multi-location payroll.
Q: How do you handle salary corrections or retroactive adjustments?
A: All adjustments are captured in the following payroll cycle with a clear audit trail. We document every change with authorization records so your payroll history remains clean and auditable.
Q: What payroll software or systems do you use?
A: We use leading HRMS platforms integrated with Saudi government portals (Qiwa, GOSI, Mudad). You do not need to purchase or maintain any software — our system is fully managed on your behalf.
