Payroll for a Saudi company

The run is built from the whole month, not from the salary alone

A payslip is more than a basic wage. Helm prices each part of the month and prints it as a line a person can check.

• GOSI on the base of basic pay plus housing, up to the cap.
• Overtime at the hourly wage plus 50 per cent, under Article 107, with the hours beside the money.
• Additions and deductions that belong to one month and never repeat.
• A salary loan that repays itself every month, and settles exactly on the last installment.
• Unpaid leave, priced by the days that came before it in the same leave year.
• An expense the company agreed to pay, carried to the payslip as a reimbursement.

What a day of leave pays is a calculation, never a stored number

The Labor Law prices sick leave in tiers. The first 30 days pay in full. Days 31 to 90 pay three quarters. Days 91 to 120 pay nothing (Article 117).

Helm recomputes the price from the whole leave history every time. Nothing is stored on the leave record, so the price can never drift away from the record it describes.

A leave that crosses a month end, or a tier edge, is split correctly between the two months.

A loan repays only when the run is approved

A draft run that you discard repays nothing. A retried approval repays once.

Helm keys the repayment on the run, so a double tap can never take two installments from one person.

A loan installment above the Article 93 limit of 10 per cent raises a warning on the run. It does not hide it.

End of service, and the file for the bank

Helm calculates the end-of-service award under Article 84, and applies the resignation scale in Article 85 to a final settlement.

You can export the wage file for the bank from an approved run.

You can also see what the workforce costs, by department, before you approve anything.

Answers

How does Helm calculate GOSI?

Helm uses basic pay plus housing as the base, capped at SAR 45,000. A Saudi employee contributes 10.75% and the employer 12.75%. For a non-Saudi employee the employer pays 2% for occupational hazards.

Can I change a statutory rate?

Yes. An administrator can override a rate for the workspace, and the override keeps the written reason. Helm then states the override beside the registry default, so an overridden rate is never quoted as the law.

Does Helm pay the salaries?

No. Helm produces the run and the wage file. A person approves the run, and your bank moves the money.
