Before you hire, your company needs to be set up on three key platforms. Here is what each one does.

GOSI — social insurance

The General Organization for Social Insurance registers your company as an employer and manages contributions for your employees.

Qiwa — labor services

Qiwa handles work permits, employment contracts, Saudization (Nitaqat) and visa services for your establishment.

Mudad — payroll and WPS

Mudad is used to upload payroll files under the Wage Protection System, showing that salaries are paid correctly and on time.

Register in order: GOSI and Qiwa first, then link Mudad to your bank and payroll.
