ArcHR
HR Software for Saudi Arabia Companies with 150–200 employees.
At 150–200 employees, multi-branch payroll, role-based access control, and full compliance reporting become non-negotiable. ArcHR is SAR-native HR and payroll for Saudi Arabia SMEs with 150–200 employees — GOSI contribution calculation + CSV export; Mudad (WPS) SIF file generation.

Month in the life
The group employs 185 people across Riyadh headquarters, a Jeddah branch, and a Dammam warehouse — each a separate GOSI establishment with its own Nitaqat profile. Group HR consolidated reporting shows High Green overall, but the Jeddah establishment sits in Yellow — leadership pauses expatriate hiring there while recruiting Saudis locally. RBAC ensures branch managers see their team's leave and attendance without accessing payroll or EOS figures for other locations. GOSI contributions export per establishment; Mudad wage files submit per entity with pre-validation against Qiwa contracts. Total EOS liability for 140 non-Saudi employees exceeds SAR 3.5 million — finance treats it as a material balance sheet provision reviewed monthly. A group-wide performance and goals cycle aligns 180 employees to annual objectives with cascading targets from leadership to team level. Iqama renewals across three cities are managed centrally with PRO task assignments and branch-level completion tracking. HRSD requests compliance documentation for the Dammam establishment — HR exports two years of GOSI, Mudad, and Qiwa records within one business day. Workforce planning for 2027 models Saudization requirements per establishment before the annual budget cycle. At 150–200 employees, multi-establishment governance and role-based data access define whether HR operations scale securely. ArcHR provides establishment-level compliance, group analytics, RBAC, and goals-based performance management.
Primary pain points
Multi-branch payroll — different WPS structures per branch or legal entity
RBAC: not every manager should see every employee's salary
End of service liability at 150+ employees is a material balance sheet item
Compliance checklist
- Monitor Nitaqat band per GOSI establishment — group Green does not protect a Yellow branch from visa restrictions
- Enforce RBAC so branch managers cannot access payroll or EOS data for employees outside their establishment
- Export GOSI contributions and Mudad wage files per establishment with pre-submission validation
- Report monthly EOS liability for 140+ non-Saudi employees as a material balance sheet provision
- Manage iqama renewals centrally with branch-level task assignment and completion audit trails
- Model Saudization requirements per establishment during annual workforce and budget planning cycles

Frequently asked questions
Does ArcHR support role-based access control (RBAC) for large SME teams?
Yes. ArcHR has 6 system roles and 18+ permission modules with granular RBAC. Line managers see their team's leave and attendance without seeing salary data. Finance sees payroll without seeing performance ratings. Custom roles are fully configurable.
How does ArcHR manage Nitaqat across multiple GOSI establishments?
Each establishment has its own Nitaqat band calculation based on its industry classification and Saudi headcount. Group HR sees consolidated and per-establishment dashboards. Hiring decisions can be gated by establishment-level band status.
What RBAC controls matter most at 150–200 KSA employees?
Branch managers should approve leave and view attendance for their team only. Payroll and EOS data must be restricted to finance and senior HR. PRO staff need document access without salary visibility. ArcHR configurable roles enforce these boundaries.
How does ArcHR support goals-based performance at 180 employees?
ArcHR goals module cascades objectives from leadership to departments to individuals. Progress tracking, review cycles, and completion reporting run across the group with establishment-level visibility for local managers.
What is the EOS liability exposure at 150–200 KSA employees?
For companies with 140+ non-Saudi employees, EOS liability commonly exceeds SAR 3 million. Monthly accrual reporting in ArcHR gives finance material provision figures for audit and board reporting — manual estimates are insufficient at this scale.
