The month's pay run on one sheet: every employee's earnings, deductions and net. The net column is what the Wage Protection System file carries to Mudad, to the halala. GOSI is 9.75 percent of basic plus housing for a Saudi employee and nothing for a non-Saudi; the employer's own share is a cost, not a deduction, so it is not on this sheet.

The month's pay run on one sheet

A payroll register (مسير رواتب) lists every employee's pay for one month on one sheet: basic, housing, transport and other earnings, the gross, then GOSI, absence and other deductions, and the net. It is the sheet the manager signs before the bank file goes out, and the one an inspector or auditor asks for, because the net column is exactly what the Wage Protection System file carries to Mudad.

The payslip is the same arithmetic for one employee; the register is all of them, with column totals, so the total net equals the bank transfer and the total GOSI equals the month's contribution invoice.

  • Period, pay date and a run number.
  • Per employee: name, number, basic, housing, transport, other earnings, gross.
  • Deductions: GOSI employee share, absence, loans, advances, other.
  • Net pay, and the total of every money column.
  • Prepared-by and approved-by signatures.

The sample's three employees

A Saudi accountant on 8,000 basic, 2,000 housing, 500 transport: GOSI 9.75 percent of 10,000 is 975.00, one day's absence 350.00, net 9,175.00. A Saudi senior on 9,000 + 2,250 + 600 with a 450.00 bonus and a 500.00 loan instalment: GOSI 1,096.88, net 10,703.12. A non-Saudi on 5,000 + 1,250 + 400: no GOSI deduction, net 6,650.00. Total net 26,528.12 is the WPS transfer.

Questions

What is the difference between a payroll register and a payslip?

The payslip is one employee's month; the register is every employee's month on one sheet with totals. The register is what gets approved and reconciled to the bank file and the GOSI invoice; the payslip is what each employee receives.

Must the register match the WPS file?

Yes. The Mudad WPS file lists each employee's basic, housing, other earnings, deductions and net; the register's net column must equal it line by line, and the bank transfer must equal the total. A mismatch is what the Ministry's compliance check flags.

Why is the employer's GOSI share not on the register?

Because the employee does not bear it. The employer's 11.75 percent (Saudi) or 2 percent (non-Saudi) is a cost booked against the month, invoiced by GOSI, and paid separately; it never passes through the employee's net.

When must salaries be paid?

By the end of the month for monthly-paid employees, through WPS. A delay beyond the Ministry's grace is a violation that shows in the establishment's WPS compliance and can block services in Qiwa.
