HR System for Contracting Companies

Ektefa simplifies workforce management in projects

Contracting relies on large numbers of field workers: attendance across different sites, payroll with overtime, residency permits and GOSI, and compliance with Ministry of Human Resources regulations. Ektefa offers practical solutions for all of it.

01 · The challenge

The challenge: four problems every contracting company knows

  • 01

    Attendance across multiple sites

    Tracking the attendance of workers spread across different sites by hand is difficult.

  • 02

    Payroll made complex by the work itself

    Overtime, absent hours and leave make payroll complicated.

  • 03

    Documents and permits

    Late iqama renewals or lapsed GOSI coverage expose the company to penalties.

  • 04

    A flood of employee requests

    Leave, advance and business trip requests make follow-up exhausting.
