FOUR LAYERS · ONE PLATFORM · MENA
One platform. Every country. Every shape.
Global Kinect is the platform layer above the MENA statutory engine, where Finance and HR run their workforce as one system. The same engine powers Bureau, Bureau plus HRIS, Managed, Managed plus HRIS, and Direct EOR. Eleven MENA countries. One rule book. Hosted on Oracle Cloud, in-Kingdom for Saudi.
Global Kinect is the workforce control surface for businesses operating across MENA — the platform layer above the statutory engine where Finance and HR run their workforce as one system. Architecturally: four layers built for MENA. Layer 01 input (Bureau diff file, HRIS records, EOR intake, API). Layer 02 the statutory engine — one rule book across eleven MENA countries handling GOSI, WPS, GPSSA, Mudad, ILOE, CCHI, IGR, CNSS, SSC, MOHRE, and the six nationalisation regimes. Layer 03 output (payroll pack, bank file, payslips, finance export). Layer 04 substrate — Oracle Cloud, in-Kingdom for Saudi (Jeddah), ISO 27001-aligned, signed and immutable audit log. Customers buy at two depths: Layer One (consolidation across the eleven) or Layer Two (autonomous payroll from captured workforce data via HRIS).

For your employees
Self-service on web. And in their pocket.
Every employee gets a self-service portal on the web — and a mobile app for payslips, leave, approvals, and QR check-in. Scanning in at the site checkpoint pairs check-in and check-out automatically and feeds straight into the timesheet and the next payroll run. No emailing HR, no spreadsheets, no manual data entry.
The architecture
Four layers. One platform.
Input flows in: Bureau diff files, HRIS records, EOR intake, direct API. The statutory engine runs in the middle — one rule book across eleven countries. Output flows out: payroll pack, bank file, payslips, finance export. The substrate underneath: Oracle Cloud, in-Kingdom for Saudi, ISO 27001-aligned, audit log signed and immutable.
LAYER 01 · INPUT
Bring data in the shape you operate in. Bureau buyers send a monthly diff file. HRIS buyers stream live employee records. EOR engagements arrive as hires, terminations, and comp changes. API integration for buyers running their own data plane.
LAYER 02 · ENGINE
One rule book across eleven countries. GOSI dual-tier handled per employee. WPS files generated to the bank format each country requires. GPSSA federal-vs-DIFC split for UAE. Mudad submission windows for Saudi. ILOE for unemployment insurance. CCHI for Saudi medical compliance. IGR brackets for Egypt. CNSS for Morocco. SSC for Jordan. MOHRE compliance for UAE. Six nationalisation regimes — Saudization, Emiratisation, Kuwaitisation, Bahrainisation, Omanisation, Qatarisation where they apply. Every regime, every country, one rule book.
LAYER 03 · OUTPUT
Payroll pack out: register, WPS file, EOSB accrual, payslips. Bank file validated and routed. Payslips as PDF, CSV, or portal access. Finance export to GL via CSV or API. Same outputs across every configuration — Bureau and Managed buyers receive the same pack; the difference is who submits.
LAYER 04 · SUBSTRATE
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. In-Kingdom data residency for Saudi (Jeddah region); Abu Dhabi region for non-Saudi GCC data. ISO 27001-aligned. Audit log signed and immutable — every input, every change, every approval recorded with five-year retention by default. PDPL aligned for Saudi processing.
Two layers · both complete
Two layers of depth. Both are complete propositions.
The platform solves at two depths. Layer One solves consolidation — one platform replacing the fragmented bureau-per-country, spreadsheet-per-month operation. Layer Two solves operational data preparation — workforce changes captured continuously through HRIS, the cycle runs on captured data, customer involvement collapses to sign-off. Different buyers want different depths.
One platform across eleven MENA countries.
The consolidation proposition. One place to send monthly payroll data. One engine handling calculation across the eleven. One unified output. Replaces the fragmented bureau-per-country, spreadsheet-per-month operation. Two configurations sit inside Layer One — the difference between them is who submits the statutory files.
- Bureau · calculation engine · you submit · across all eleven MENA countries
- Managed · calculation plus statutory submissions on your behalf · across the six GCC states
The cycle runs on captured data.
The deeper proposition. HRIS captures workforce changes continuously — starters, leavers, salary updates, allowances, leave, time — as they happen. By payroll cut-off the data already exists. The cycle runs on captured data. The customer does not prepare a monthly diff; involvement reduces to review and sign-off.
- Bureau plus HRIS · Bureau plus continuous data capture · eleven MENA countries
- Managed plus HRIS · Managed plus continuous data capture · six GCC states · the fully autonomous configuration
Plus · Direct EOR
Sits adjacent to the two-layer model, not inside it. Direct EOR is the configuration for workforces a buyer can’t or won’t hold under their own entity — partner-delivered EOR coverage where available.
Five configurations total: Bureau, Bureau plus HRIS, Managed, Managed plus HRIS, Direct EOR. Sit inside Layer One (consolidation), Layer Two (autonomous), or alongside (Direct EOR). The maturity arc is the path most customers travel; both layers are stable endpoints.
