How is overtime pay calculated?

  • Hourly wage = full monthly wage ÷ 30 days ÷ daily working hours.
  • Overtime hourly rate = hourly wage + 50% of the basic hourly wage (Article 107).
  • Amount due = overtime hourly rate × number of overtime hours.
  • Actual working hours may not exceed 8 a day or 48 a week, reduced in Ramadan for Muslims to 6 hours a day.

Reference: the Saudi Labor Law, its implementing regulations and their amendments.

What is Rekaz?

Rekaz (Rekaz ERP) is a Saudi cloud system for running organisations, Arabic-first with an English interface, used from the browser and phone. It brings HR and payroll, warehouses and procurement, and administrative correspondence into one system, and covers the whole employee journey from hiring to end of service and the final settlement.

Which modules does it include?

Employee records and the full employee file, contracts and letters, leave and balances, attendance and shifts, payroll and pay runs, end of service and settlements, probation, violations and penalties, GOSI, Muqeem and Mudad, recruitment, performance reviews and training, warehouses and inventory, procurement and suppliers, custody, administrative correspondence, payroll accounting entries, and reports and dashboards.

Does Rekaz follow the Saudi Labor Law?

Yes. It calculates leave entitlement, the end-of-service benefit and the resignation shares under the Labor Law, applies the schedule of violations and penalties from your work regulations, and lets you set policies to suit your organisation.

How do employees record attendance?

With ZKTeco fingerprint devices (connected and synced), from their phone inside the boundary of set work locations, or by importing an attendance file. Rekaz applies shifts and working rules, counts lateness and absence, and once the month is approved its effect moves to payroll.

Is there a mobile app for employees?

Yes. The employee portal installs as an app on Android and iPhone straight from the browser, with no app store. Employees request leave, advances and attendance corrections, see their payslip, leave balance and custody, and managers approve their team's requests.

How do approvals work?

You design the approval path for each request type yourself: direct manager, then HR, then finance, or any order you need. Each approver is notified, authority can be delegated during leave, and late requests are escalated automatically.

Does it calculate payroll automatically?

The monthly payroll centre brings together allowances and deductions and the effect of absence, leave, penalties and advances, flags differences before approval, then issues the pay run, employee payslips and payment orders, with the Mudad payment cycle, financial closing and accounting entries.

Does Rekaz handle GOSI, Muqeem and Mudad?

Yes: GOSI settings, reconciliation and transactions; Muqeem transactions with iqama expiry alerts (Saudi employees are excluded automatically); the Mudad payroll payment cycle; and a compliance and Saudization dashboard.

Does it cover recruitment and performance?

Yes. A careers portal for jobs and applicants, interviews and candidate scorecards, job offers, onboarding for new hires, then performance review forms and training throughout employment.

Is my data secure?

The connection is encrypted, administrator accounts have two-factor authentication, permissions follow each job, branch and department, every action is kept in an audit log, and the database is backed up.

Does it suit an organisation with several branches?

Yes. You define branches, departments and sections, grant permissions and approvals per branch and department, and see reports per branch or for the whole organisation.

Can we move our current employee data?

Yes. Rekaz imports employees from an Excel file, and we help you prepare your data when your subscription starts.

How much does it cost?

The price depends on the number of employees and the modules your organisation needs. Send us your name, organisation and headcount and we will send you a quote.
