You can employ people using our EOR service. For teams under 15 employees, using an Employer of Record in Saudi Arabia is the most cost-effective solution for managing payroll, HR, and compliance, compared to setting up a separate legal entity.

Yes, but only if they’re not acting as a full-time employee for your company. Contractors can work for multiple companies, control their work methods, and send substitutes. If a company dictates what the worker does and who they can work for, classifying them as anything other than an employee could violate Saudi Arabia employment law. Misclassifying a worker in the Saudi Arabia could lead to fines, back pay for holidays, social security contributions, setting up a Saudi Arabia business presence, and even a lawsuit from the employee.

While setting up in the Saudi Arabia is relatively straightforward, need a registered office for tax purposes, along with payroll software to manage employee payments and submit them to the Saudi Arabia tax authorities. You must also comply with all Saudi Arabia employments laws which are often complex, and failure to do so could lead to unlimited fines.

When you hire in Saudi Arabia, it comes with specific legal responsibilities. HR compliance ensures your company follows the rules and regulations governing employment practices, protecting both your business and your employees.
By adhering to employment laws, you’re not just ticking boxes, you’re protecting both your employees and your business.
