Saudi HR & Payroll Management

It is a fully integrated HR and payroll solution built on Odoo Enterprise, configured for Saudi Arabia's regulatory requirements. It covers the full employee lifecycle — from onboarding and contract management through monthly payroll runs, GOSI contributions, WPS SIF file submission, leave management, and end-of-service gratuity calculation — all inside one platform connected directly to Odoo Accounting.

Yes. Odoo Payroll generates the WPS SIF (Salary Information File) in the MLSD-approved format automatically at the end of each payroll run. The file is ready for direct upload to your bank's WPS portal or bulk salary transfer system — covering all employees, all salary components, and all required fields without manual formatting.

Odoo Payroll applies different GOSI contribution rules based on nationality. For Saudi nationals, both employer (9%) and employee (9%) contributions are calculated and posted to the appropriate GOSI payable accounts. For non-Saudi expatriates, only the employer hazard contribution (2%) applies. All calculations happen automatically when the payroll run is confirmed — no manual computation needed.

Yes. Each employee record in Odoo Employees stores IQAMA number, passport number, visa type, and their respective expiry dates. Odoo fires automated email notifications to the HR team at 90, 60, and 30 days before any document expires — giving enough time to initiate renewals with the Ministry of Interior and avoid fines or visa cancellations.

Odoo calculates EOSB automatically according to Saudi Labour Law: 15 days of base salary per year of service for the first five years, then one full month's salary per year thereafter. The accrual is posted to a dedicated EOSB liability account in Odoo Accounting every payroll run — so the balance is always current and visible in the balance sheet without waiting for an employee to resign.

Yes. Odoo tracks the ratio of Saudi national employees to total headcount per department and per company. When the ratio in any department approaches or falls below the Nitaqat band threshold configured during setup, Odoo alerts the HR manager. This gives companies a clear, real-time view of their Saudization compliance without manual headcount spreadsheets.

A standard implementation — covering employee data migration, salary structure configuration, GOSI setup, WPS bank details, leave policies, and a one-cycle parallel run — typically takes 6 to 10 weeks. Companies with complex multi-entity structures or large headcounts (500+) should allow 12 to 16 weeks. iWesabe provides a fixed-scope implementation plan before any engagement begins.
