Field notes on running people operations, payroll compliance, attendance, onboarding and where AI genuinely helps.
Saudi Arabia now runs two parallel GOSI systems, split by when an employee first registered. Here are the current rates for both, the July increases running to 2028, and what it means for payroll.
End of service gratuity looks simple until you calculate one. Here is what counts as salary, why the rate changes after five years, how unpaid leave is treated, and the two year cap that limits long service.
Ministerial Resolution 340 of 2026 replaced the rules UAE payroll has run on since 2022. Here is the new deadline, the 85 percent threshold that decides compliance, and the escalation that now ends at the Public Prosecution.
The Wage Protection System is where most UAE payroll runs go wrong. Here is what the file must contain, the deadlines that trigger penalties, and the checks that stop a rejected SIF.
Most attendance systems fail for a boring reason: they are harder to comply with than to ignore. Here is how to design tracking that produces trustworthy data without policing your team.
Onboarding is usually measured by whether the laptop arrived. Here is a checklist built around the milestones that actually predict whether someone stays.
