Linking Attendance and Payroll: Simplifying Calculations for Saudi SMEs

Even a small mistake in recording work hours can cause payroll delays or incorrect deductions — a common challenge for many Saudi companies still using manual processes. These errors waste HR time, reduce transparency, and create disputes that affect employee trust.

Idaratech’s smart linking between attendance and payroll helps Saudi businesses automate calculations, improve accuracy, and ensure full compliance with the Wage Protection System (WPS) — all while saving time and reducing costs.

Common Challenges in Managing Attendance and Payroll

1. Manual Entry and Frequent Errors

Relying on manual data entry often leads to missing hours, unrecorded leave, and payroll inaccuracies that affect employee confidence.

2. Disconnected Systems

Many Saudi organizations use separate attendance and payroll tools. HR teams then spend hours transferring data, increasing errors and delays.

3. Payroll Delays and Lack of Visibility

Without integration, payroll becomes slow and error-prone. This reduces employee trust and makes it hard for management to track real labor costs.
