A digital employee file is more than just a document archive — it’s a strategic tool that ensures compliance with Saudi labor laws, strengthens data security, and unifies HR processes, including Muqeem services for managing expat employees in one system.

In this article, we explore the importance of digital employee files and how Idaratech helps you simplify HR management and enhance efficiency through automation and integration.

It helps you:

1. Comply with the Personal Data Protection Law (PDPL) through encrypted storage and audit tracking.

2. Meet Wage Protection System (WPS) requirements by linking working hours to payroll.

3. Update GOSI records quickly and accurately.

4. Manage expat employees via Muqeem integration for online iqama renewals.
