Steps to Run Payroll in Saudi Arabia

A ready-to-use template that ensures payroll is processed accurately and on time — in compliance with the Wage Protection System (WPS) and the Saudi Labor Law.

What does the template include?

A comprehensive checklist covering every stage of the monthly payroll cycle, from collecting attendance data to transferring salaries through the WPS.

Collecting attendance, absence, and working-hours data

Calculating allowances, incentives, and deductions

Settling pay for new joiners and leavers

Calculating and deducting GOSI contributions

Reviewing and approving the payroll statement with management

Transferring salaries through the WPS on the due date

Delivering pay slips to each employee

Why do you need a payroll template?

Running payroll without a documented process exposes your company to WPS violations and fines from the Ministry of Human Resources. A standardized, documented system protects the HR team and ensures salaries are paid on time every month.

Accurate, on-time salary payments every month
Full compliance with WPS and GOSI requirements
