Does Zoho Payroll support GOSI for Saudi Arabia?

Yes. Zoho Payroll's edition for Saudi Arabia supports GOSI contributions, calculating employee and employer shares based on each employee's details such as nationality and contributory wage. You set up GOSI in the statutory settings, record each employee's GOSI details, and payroll handles deductions and reports. Check the current help pages for supported filing formats and recent rule changes.

GOSI, the General Organization for Social Insurance, applies different contribution rules to Saudi nationals and non-Saudi employees. Zoho Payroll lets you enable GOSI for your organisation and capture GOSI details on each employee profile, including registration information and the wage used for contributions.

When you run payroll, Zoho Payroll calculates the employee deduction and the employer contribution. You can review them in the pay run and in reports used for payment and reconciliation. Payroll also supports other Gulf requirements such as end of service benefits and wage protection file formats, depending on the edition. Confirm the exact WPS and Mudad options in Zoho's current documentation.

Contribution rules in Saudi Arabia change from time to time. Review GOSI settings when new rules take effect and test a pay run before payday. Have your HR or finance adviser check the first few months of calculations. Keep employee nationality and wage details current, because changes to these fields affect contributions in the next pay run.
