HR & payroll for Contracting

Operation, maintenance and MEP contracts staffed exactly as the client signed.

Contracting companies — O&M, MEP and facility services — staff many client sites at once against contractual headcount, Saudization and evidence requirements. StartHR shows required vs actual staffing per contract, the cost and margin, and the credentials every client badge depends on.

The problem

What slows contracting HR teams down

Clients deduct penalties when contractual headcount is short.
Workers on lending (Ajeer) permits work after expiry by accident.
Monthly evidence packs for clients take days to assemble.
Margin per contract is unknown until year end.
