Description
Ahlan Hamad serves as a comprehensive HR and payroll solution tailored for employers in the GCC region, offering both Software as a Service (SaaS) and dedicated infrastructure alternatives, which include customer data centers. This platform centralizes various functions such as maintaining employee records, managing payroll, tracking leave and attendance, facilitating employee self-service, overseeing document management, calculating social insurance contributions, managing end-of-service benefits, monitoring commercial license expiration, and tracking nationalization quotas all within a single cohesive system. The payroll system adheres to local labor regulations, producing Wage Protection System (WPS) salary files compatible with banks across Kuwait, the UAE, Qatar, Bahrain, and Oman. In Saudi Arabia, it ensures compliance by monitoring Mudad filing deadlines and verifying bank-issued wage files against payroll data. The mobile web application allows employees to conveniently access their payslips, submit leave requests, and retrieve employment documents. Additionally, all interfaces, reports, and documents are provided in both Arabic and English, with full right-to-left support, ensuring accessibility for all users. Notably, the Arabic content is crafted and reviewed by professionals, rather than relying on machine translation, to maintain high quality. Employers, however, retain the responsibility for submitting the necessary files to banks and relevant government bodies, ensuring compliance with local regulations. This multifaceted approach not only streamlines HR processes but also enhances the overall employee experience.
Description
Mindcat People is an HR and payroll solution tailored for employers operating in the UAE and Saudi Arabia, catering to various sectors such as contractors, facilities-management firms, and restaurant chains. The software efficiently handles employee data, salary configurations, attendance tracking, leave management, overtime calculations, advance requests, expense submissions, and other employee inquiries. Each month, it automates the payroll process, generating payslips and creating a WPS file for uploads to UAE banks or exchange houses, as well as a Mudad file for Saudi payroll needs; during setup, it incorporates local regulations, including GOSI and gratuity. Employees benefit from a mobile-friendly browser app that allows them to clock in, request time off, file expense claims, and access their payslips, while managers can easily oversee payroll and approve requests. The platform is designed to support companies in both the UAE and Saudi Arabia within a single installation, offering options for hosting in the region or deploying in a customer's own cloud or data center. Additionally, setup includes features like data imports, testing of bank files, a month for parallel payroll processing, and comprehensive training for users. This flexibility ensures that organizations can efficiently adapt the system to meet their specific payroll and HR needs.

Pricing Details
AED 29/employee/month
You pay per employee on payroll, per month: anyone with a salary slip that month. HR, finance and manager logins add nothing, and a manager who is paid through the system counts once. Leavers stop counting the month after their final settlement. The price per employee drops as you grow: each band’s price applies only to the employees inside that band.
Band: AED | SAR | USD per month
1 to 50: 29 | 29 | 7.90
51 to 200: 18 | 18 | 4.90
201 to 500: 12 | 12 | 3.27
Above 500: 8 | 8 | 2.18
Worked example. A contractor with 150 employees on payroll pays 50 × 29 + 100 × 18 = AED 3,250 a month (SAR 3,250, USD 884.96). With 50 employees it is AED 1,450 (USD 394.83). With 400 it is AED 6,550 (USD 1,783.53). With 1,000 it is AED 11,750 (USD 3,199.46). The shared option has a minimum of AED/SAR 990 a month (USD 269.57), which covers up to 34 employees.
How you run it changes the multiplier.
Shared: your own site and database on our servers, in the UAE or Saudi Arabia: The per-employee price above | AED/SAR 990 (USD 269.57)
Your own servers, hosted by us in the UAE, Jeddah or Riyadh: Per-employee price × 2 | AED/SAR 4,590 (USD 1,249.83)
In your own cloud or data centre, run by us: The per-employee price, and you pay your cloud bill directly | AED/SAR 3,690 (USD 1,004.77)
Two ways to start.
Quick start: Shared, up to 50 employees | AED/SAR 2,500 (USD 680.74), fixed | Your site, your logo, your employees, salaries, bank accounts and leave balances imported from our spreadsheet template, our UAE or Saudi template (salary components, leave types, public holidays, gratuity rule), the WPS file set up with your bank’s employer ID, and recorded training in Arabic and English. Support by ticket. Monthly by card.
Managed setup: 51 employees and up, and every dedicated or own-cloud plan | Up to 200: AED/SAR 9,900 (USD 2,695.71). 201 to 500: AED/SAR 16,900 (USD 4,601.77). Above 500: from AED/SAR 29,900 (USD 8,141.59), scoped in writing. | A discovery call, import and cleanup, salary structures per group (office, crews, Saudis on each GOSI regime), gratuity and leave rules, attendance from your biometric clock, the WPS or Mudad file tested with your bank, one parallel payroll month, and live training. A named contact.
Extra work is AED/SAR 900 an hour (USD 245.06), or 10 hours for AED/SAR 8,100.
Not in the price. Biometric clocks are yours, and your bank or exchange house charges its own WPS fees. Annual prepay takes 15% off the part of the monthly bill above the minimum. Prices exclude 5% UAE VAT and 15% Saudi VAT.
