StartHR is the HR and payroll system built for businesses in Oman with 5 to 250 employees — compliant with the Oman Labour Law (Royal Decree 53/2023), fluent in Arabic and English, and quietly automating the typing.
Attendance, leave, overtime at 125%, loans and SPF flow into one run. Variance warnings and WPS checks catch mistakes before your bank does.
Pick your country to see its social insurance, wage protection, end-of-service and localisation rules — and a live demo company for every industry.
Omanis: employee 8% (pension 7.5% + job security 0.5%), employer 14.5% (pension 11%, job security 0.5%, work injury, maternity and sick leave 1% each), capped at OMR 3,000. Expatriates: employer 2% (maternity 1% + sick leave 1%); a 9% savings scheme replaces gratuity from July 2027.
The WPS salary file (SIF) for your bank, with IBAN and wage checks before you upload.
Contracts and work permits filed with the Ministry of Labour, tracked against their expiry.
Resident card, visa and residence renewals with fees calculated up front.
Sector Omanisation targets and roles reserved for Omanis; the Ministry checks them before issuing work permits.
One month's last basic pay per year of service under the 2023 Labour Law (service before 26 July 2023 keeps the old 15-days-for-3-years scale). No reduction on resignation and no cap. Omanis are covered by the pension fund instead.
Residence permits, bank receipts, overtime sheets, CVs and leave messages become finished records. Every value shows its confidence, and nothing is saved until a person confirms it.
Change the numbers. This uses the same rules as the product — allowances, SPF contributions and the end-of-service rules of the Oman Labour Law (Royal Decree 53/2023).
Illustration only. SPF base capped at OMR 3,000; expatriates' end of service per the Oman Labour Law (Royal Decree 53/2023). Not tax or legal advice.
