As a trusted partner, Teamed serves as your official legal employer in Saudi Arabia, ensuring seamless compliance with local labor laws while eliminating the complexities of entity setup, payroll management, and contract administration.

Why Choose Teamed for Saudi Arabia Hiring?

Teamed’s EOR model in Saudi Arabia is designed to simplify global hiring while adhering to the latest legal and fiscal requirements. With a transparent, flat-rate pricing structure of **$599 per employee per month**, you gain access to a fully integrated platform that handles payroll, contract drafting, compliance with the Qiwa registration system, and end-of-service gratuity calculations—all managed by dedicated HR and legal experts. Unlike traditional hiring models, Teamed eliminates setup and exit fees, ensuring predictable costs with no FX markups. Your team’s records remain intact even if an employee transitions from a fixed-term to an indefinite contract or graduates to your own Saudi entity, allowing for seamless scalability without re-onboarding.

Key Benefits of Our Saudi Arabia EOR Solution

• Compliance-Driven Hiring: Teamed ensures full adherence to Saudi Arabia’s evolving labor laws, including the recent February 2025 amendments that extended maternity leave to 12 weeks, doubled the minimum notice period to 60 days for indefinite contracts, and restructured probation periods. Our platform reflects the latest legal updates, so you’re always operating with accuracy and confidence.
• Cost Transparency: With no hidden fees or currency fluctuations, Teamed provides a clear, itemized breakdown of employer costs—including GOSI (General Organization for Social Insurance) contributions, which vary significantly between Saudi nationals (11.75%) and expatriates (2%). Unlike competitors that oversimplify these rates, we ensure precise financial planning with no surprises.
• Expert-Driven Support: Your Saudi hires are managed by real HR and legal professionals, not automated systems. From contract registration with Qiwa to payroll processing under the Wage Protection System, our team handles every detail with precision and care. This personalized approach extends to contractor onboarding and entity payroll integration, all within a single, unified platform.
• Flexible Scaling: Whether you’re hiring your first employee in Saudi Arabia or expanding an existing team, Teamed’s EOR model adapts to your needs. Use our Crossover Calculator to determine the optimal transition point from EOR to a direct entity setup, ensuring cost efficiency at every stage.
• No Personal Income Tax: Saudi Arabia imposes zero personal income tax on employment, reducing employer costs compared to other global markets. Teamed’s solution simplifies tax obligations, including GOSI, VAT, and corporate tax compliance, so you can focus on growth without administrative burdens.

Navigating Saudi Arabia’s Labor Landscape

Hiring in Saudi Arabia presents unique opportunities, but navigating its regulatory framework requires expertise. Teamed’s platform demystifies the process by consolidating payroll, benefits, and legal requirements into one seamless experience. Key considerations include:

• GOSI Contributions: Saudi nationals incur a 11.75% employer contribution (covering retirement, occupational hazards, and SANED unemployment insurance), while expatriates face a reduced 2% rate for occupational hazards only.
• Annual Leave and Holidays: Employees earn 21 days of annual leave in the first five years, increasing to 30 days thereafter. Saudi Arabia observes 10 official public holidays in 2026, with dates aligned to the lunar calendar.
• Notice Periods: The minimum notice period for indefinite contracts has been extended to 60 days, reflecting the latest labor law updates.
• Probation Periods: The restructured probation framework allows for longer initial evaluation periods, providing flexibility for both employers and employees.
