ArcHR
HR Software for Saudi Arabia Companies with 75–100 employees.
At 75–100 employees, HR, Finance, and senior management all need payroll and compliance visibility — manager self-service becomes essential. ArcHR is SAR-native HR and payroll for Saudi Arabia SMEs with 75–100 employees — GOSI contribution calculation + CSV export; Mudad (WPS) SIF file generation.

Month in the life
At 90 employees, the HR department processes payroll for two locations while the PRO team manages 55 active iqamas. Nitaqat sits in High Green — leadership wants to hire five expatriate specialists but HR must model Saudization impact across departments before approval. Mudad compliance is clean this quarter, but GOSI contributions for four Saudi employees in a new subsidiary were registered under the wrong establishment number. Leave approvals for 12 line managers now flow through ArcHR MSS, though two managers still bypass the system and approve via WhatsApp — creating payroll discrepancies when approved leave is not deducted. Finance receives monthly EOS accrual reports but wants departmental breakdowns for budget planning. The HR chatbot deflects payslip and leave balance queries, freeing HR to focus on Qiwa contract amendments and iqama renewals. A workforce reduction in one department triggers end-of-service settlements for six non-Saudi employees in the same month — HR processes all six within the 14-day legal window using system-generated settlement statements. HRSD published updated guidance on remote work contract terms; HR must amend 15 Qiwa contracts. At 75–100 employees, manager adoption and cross-department visibility determine whether HR scales or drowns. ArcHR provides MSS, chatbot, Nitaqat forecasting, departmental reporting, and multi-establishment GOSI payroll.
Primary pain points
Multiple approval chains for leave and overtime — managers need to approve in the system, not WhatsApp
Finance needs EOSB liability reporting per quarter
HR chatbot reduces the volume of repetitive employee queries to the HR team
Compliance checklist
- Model Nitaqat impact before approving any expatriate hire — at 75–100 headcount, department-level ratios matter
- Maintain separate GOSI establishment registrations for each legal entity with correct employee assignments
- Process end-of-service settlements within the legal window with system-generated breakdowns for finance sign-off
- Amend Qiwa contracts within 30 days of any salary, role, or work-location change
- Enforce leave approvals through MSS with attendance integration — manual approvals create payroll deduction errors
- Review Mudad wage protection data against bank confirmations for all Saudi nationals every pay cycle

Frequently asked questions
Does ArcHR support manager approvals for a 80–100 person UAE company?
Yes. ArcHR's Manager Self-Service (MSS) module lets line managers approve leave requests, review overtime, and manage their direct reports without going through HR. The HR chatbot handles common employee questions automatically.
How does ArcHR forecast Nitaqat impact before new hires at 90 employees?
ArcHR's Nitaqat module models the effect of proposed Saudi and expatriate hires on your current band using live payroll nationality data and your Qiwa industry classification. HR can present leadership with band projections before approving requisitions.
Can ArcHR manage GOSI across multiple KSA establishments?
Yes. Each establishment has its own GOSI registration in ArcHR with employees assigned correctly. Monthly contribution files export per establishment while group HR sees consolidated headcount and Saudization analytics.
What is the legal deadline for end-of-service settlement in KSA?
Employers must pay final settlement — including accrued EOS, leave encashment, and outstanding salary — within the period specified in the employment contract or within two weeks of the last working day, whichever is shorter. ArcHR generates itemised settlement statements on termination.
Does ArcHR support departmental leave and attendance reporting?
Yes. HR and department heads see leave utilisation, attendance patterns, and overtime trends by team. Data feeds Nitaqat planning and budget forecasting without manual spreadsheet consolidation.
