1. Full Compliance with Saudi Labor Law

Compliance with the Saudi Labor Law is one of ZenHR’s core strengths.
The system is built specifically to ensure full alignment with all requirements of the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development (MHRSD), including:

  • Managing employment contracts, working hours, and public holidays in line with the Saudi Labor Law.
  • Automatically calculating End of Service Benefits (EOSB) based on Saudi labor regulations.
  • Accurately calculating paid leave salaries and reminders for employee return dates.
  • Generating WPS (Wage Protection System) files and automatically submitting them through Mudad.

  • Automatically calculating GOSI contributions for both employer and employee each month.
  • Managing allowances (housing, transportation, and others) in full compliance with MHRSD policies.
  • Automating overtime, deductions, loans, and bonuses with full transparency.

All these operations run seamlessly within the system, eliminating manual work and ensuring full accuracy.
Any new updates issued to the labor law are automatically reflected inside ZenHR, keeping you fully compliant at all times.



2. Direct Integration with Saudi Government Platforms

One of ZenHR’s strongest differentiators is its deep integration with official Saudi government systems, allowing HR teams to stay compliant effortlessly and save time.

Integration with Mudad

ZenHR directly integrates with Mudad, sending WPS files automatically and tracking the submission status for each payroll cycle.
This helps organizations avoid compliance delays and reduces administrative effort.

3. Multi-Branch and Multi-Payroll Management

ZenHR is designed to support multi-location operations and complex payroll structures, making it ideal for large Saudi holding companies and enterprises with several branches.

With ZenHR, you can:

  • Process multiple payrolls simultaneously (in SAR or other currencies).
  • Apply different pay cycles (monthly, biweekly, or weekly).
  • Generate detailed financial and performance reports by branch or division.
  • Assign branch-level access and roles while maintaining centralized control from headquarters.

This flexibility makes ZenHR the preferred HR system for industries like restaurants and F&B, retail, construction, logistics, manufacturing, and more.



4. Seamless Integration with Financial and Accounting Systems

ZenHR bridges HR and finance through native integrations with leading financial and ERP solutions used across Saudi Arabia, including:

ZenHR can also integrate with any financial or accounting software your organization already uses.

This connection allows for automatic transfer of payroll data, expenses, and allowances from ZenHR into your accounting system — no more manual uploads or Excel files.
