About Mindcat People
Mindcat People is HR and payroll software for employers in the UAE and Saudi Arabia, such as contractors, FM companies and restaurant groups. One monthly payroll run makes every salary slip, with overtime already on it, and the WPS salary file your bank or exchange house accepts.
GOSI rules for Saudi staff are set per regime, the month's roster is planned per site, and crews check in from their phones or a connected biometric clock. Every employee has the app on their phone, managers approve in one list, gratuity and final settlements are calculated, and Emirates ID, iqama and visa expiry dates sit on the employee record with reminders.
UAE and Saudi companies can run in one copy, each with its own currency, holidays and payroll. Hosted in the UAE or the Kingdom, or on your own servers, set up and run by Mindcat. Priced per employee per month in AED or SAR. There is no direct upload to MOHRE, Mudad, Qiwa, Muqeem or GOSI; your team uploads the files the run produces.
Pricing
Band: AED | SAR | USD per month

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.
