    Sound familiar?

    What we hear from HR and administration leaders in government, semi-government and government-scale entities.

    Scales, grades and allowance structures are the whole of how you pay people. Every commercial HR system treats them as an edge case.

    An approval crosses three departments and two delegation levels, and nobody can say where it is sitting right now.

    Every exception becomes a paper file, because the system has nowhere to record why it was allowed.

    Thousands of employees expect Arabic service at government standard, answered one letter and one counter visit at a time.

    Grade & scale payroll

    Your salary scale is not a customisation. It is the data model.

    Commercial HR systems start from a salary figure and bolt grades on afterwards, which is why every public-sector implementation turns into a customisation project. Solvait HCM starts where you start: a scale, a grade, a step.

    • Scales, grades, steps and increment rules that follow your regulations, not a vendor’s template.
    • Transport, housing, nature-of-work and acting allowances as rules tied to grade, job family or site.
    • Step increments and promotions on schedule, dated in Hijri or Gregorian, entitlement recalculated automatically.
    • Every exception logged: what, to whom, by whom, under which delegated authority, and why.

    Approvals & governance

    Transparency is not a report you produce. It is how the system works.

    Most entities can produce a transparency report. Far fewer can answer, on the spot, who approved a specific allowance three years ago and under what delegated authority.

    • Delegation matrices in the system: who may approve what, up to which limit, in which department.
    • Multi-level workflows that cross departments without leaving the platform.
    • A full audit trail on every action, human and AI alike, including the record before the change.
    • When the auditor asks, the answer is a query, not a project.
    1Requested: department, with justification attached
    2Reviewed: line manager, within delegated limit
    3Escalated: above limit, routed to the next authority
    4Approved: recorded with authority, date and prior state
    5Auditable: permanently, without an export request
    Arabic-first

    For government, Arabic-first is not a feature. It is respect.

    Not a translation layer switched on for the Arabic market. The platform, the letters, the payslips and the AI agents were built to work in Arabic. An employee who never opens an English screen still gets the full system.

    Arabic end to end

    Right-to-left interface, Arabic employee and job titles, Arabic letters and payslips, Hijri dating throughout. Each employee sees the language they work in; the record underneath is the same one.

    Khidmat answers on WhatsApp

    Employees ask in Arabic, on WhatsApp, in their own words: leave balance, salary letter, payslip, Iqama status, end-of-service. No portal login, no training programme, no queue at the HR office.

    Service quality you can evidence

    Every request an employee makes and every answer they receive is a logged transaction, so service standards are something you can measure and report, not something you assume.

    National platforms: native, from day one

    Not connectors sold separately or scheduled for a later phase. These are part of how the payroll and employee record work.

    Qiwa

    Contracts and employment records kept consistent with what Qiwa holds, so an establishment transaction never stalls on a mismatch nobody knew about.

    GOSI

    Contributions calculated per employee against the registered establishment, with Saudi and non-Saudi rates handled correctly and reconciled to the payroll run.

    Mudad / WPS

    The wage protection file produced by the payroll run itself, in the format the bank expects, on the schedule the ministry expects.

    Muqeem

    Iqama status and expiry tracked per employee, with notice early enough for the renewal to actually happen before a service is blocked.

    Nitaqat

    Your Saudization band visible continuously, not discovered at reporting time, with the effect of planned appointments modelled before they are made.

    Hijri calendar

    Entitlements, contract dates, step increment anniversaries and end-of-service all work in Hijri and Gregorian, because your paperwork does.

    Vision 2030

    Government is asked to run digital. HR is where it becomes real.

    Transformation is judged on services to citizens. The part employees experience first is HR: how a leave request moves, how long a letter takes, whether a promotion follows the scale.

    Data sovereignty

    Where your data lives is a procurement question, not a marketing one.

    So we answer it in writing, against your entity's requirements, in the discovery session.

    Information security

    The platform is certified to ISO/IEC 27001:2022. Hosting region and data residency are confirmed in writing during discovery, before anything is agreed.

    A PDPL-aware posture

    Certified to ISO/IEC 27001:2022, with data classification, role and authority-based access control, and an audit trail over personal data access.

    Residency options, discussed openly

    Hosting region and residency arrangements are reviewed with you and your compliance office during discovery, and documented in the proposal, including what we can and cannot commit to for your specific requirements.

    Delivered at government scale

    Organisations whose HR carries public-sector complexity: grades, allowance structures, layered approvals and audit obligations. Maarif is a private education company, not a government entity, and Qatar Charity is an NGO operating at government scale.

    Qatar Charity, CBAHI, Maarif.

    Questions buyers actually ask

    The platform is certified to ISO/IEC 27001:2022 for information security management, with access control by role and delegated authority, and a complete audit trail of who touched what. Hosting region and residency options are confirmed with you in the discovery session, against your entity’s specific requirements, before anything is agreed in writing.

    Yes: natively, from day one, not as a paid connector or a later phase. Contributions, the wage protection file, contract records and Iqama expiries all come out of the same platform and the same payroll run, which is why they cannot quietly drift apart. Nitaqat position and Hijri dating are handled in the same place.

    Yes. Scales, grades, steps and allowance rules are configuration rather than code, so your structure goes in as it is written in your regulations, including the allowances that only apply to certain grades, locations or job families. Where your structure has genuine exceptions, the enterprise implementation team handles them in the build, and each exception stays visible in the audit trail rather than living in someone’s spreadsheet.

    Yes. We respond to RFPs and tender documents in the format the entity requires, provide references from comparable enterprise-track deployments, and supply a procurement-ready compliance pack covering our ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification, security posture and implementation methodology. Start with a discovery session and we will map your evaluation criteria before the paperwork begins.

    Start with a discovery session.

    Bring your salary scale, your delegation matrix and your hardest exception. We will work through them and put a written position, including hosting and residency, in front of your compliance office.
