HRMS solutions in government and the public sector

We implement HR systems so employee records, payroll inputs and approvals are accurate before anyone is paid from them.

Work on an HR system turns on clean employee data, accurate payroll integration and the right access for HR, managers and staff. We configure core HR, time and the payroll links in stages, with parallel payroll runs before anyone relies on the new system.

Government entities manage staff under civil service rules and grade structures, set in the UAE by the Federal Authority for Government Human Resources or the HR authority of each emirate, and in Saudi Arabia by the civil service regulations administered by the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development. In the UAE, payroll has to fit the Wage Protection System run by MOHRE and Emiratisation requirements, including Nafis. In Saudi Arabia it has to fit GOSI contributions, Mudad wage files, Qiwa contract records and the Nitaqat Saudisation bands set by the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development, and employee records fall under the PDPL, which SDAIA oversees.

We hand over with runbooks and training, and can stay on under agreed service levels.

Alongside sector regulation, we often map delivery evidence to cross-industry baselines such as the UAE Information Assurance Regulation issued by TDRA, the NCA Essential Cybersecurity Controls in Saudi Arabia and the NIST Cybersecurity Framework, which many risk reviewers already use.

What we deliver

Specialists in government and public sector and platform engineers, with you from design to stable operation.

  • Employee data and organisation

    Positions, grades and reporting lines agreed and loaded, with HR owning each data field.

  • Payroll and time integration

    Interfaces to payroll and time systems, tested with parallel runs and reconciled before go-live.

  • Self-service and access

    Employee and manager self-service, with access to personal data granted by role.

  • Digital government frameworks

    We align delivery with the standards of the authority that oversees your entity, such as TDRA and the UAE Information Assurance Regulation, or the Digital Government Authority and the NCA Essential Cybersecurity Controls in Saudi Arabia, and plan sign-in through UAE PASS or Nafath where services use them.

  • Statutory reporting

    Wage files, social insurance and Emiratisation or Saudisation reports produced from the HR system rather than spreadsheets.

  • Leave, time and approvals

    Leave, attendance and approval routes configured to your policies and the labour law in each country.

What to have in place first

An HR programme is ready to start when employee data has an owner and payroll can run in parallel for at least one cycle.

  • The grade structures and allowances that apply to the entity have been confirmed with its HR authority.
  • HR and payroll have agreed the employee data fields of record and who corrects them.
  • Payroll has agreed a parallel run before the first live pay date.
