Frequently Asked Questions

Does AttendUX work for Aramco subcontractors in Dhahran area?

Yes. Rotation-shift templates (14/14, 28/28) pre-built. Per-diem allowance engine tied to on-site weeks. Labor-accommodation ZKTeco at Dhahran camps. Offline-capable mobile biometric for Ghawar/Abqaiq/Shaybah field sites. Contractor-timesheet exports separate from Mudad WPS for your client (Aramco) billing documentation.

Does Dammam use the same Mudad WPS as Riyadh + Jeddah?

Yes, identical. Mudad is national Saudi WPS platform regulated by SAMA + HRSD. All private-sector employers across Saudi submit monthly salaries via Mudad regardless of region. AttendUX generates Mudad-formatted file + validates before export. Submit via platform or integrated bank (Al Rajhi, SNB, Riyad Bank, SABB).

How does Nitaqat differ for Eastern Province oil-cluster companies?

Nitaqat targets are set by sector + size, not region. Oil & gas + petrochemical sector targets are typically higher Saudi share (~30-40%) than retail (~15%). But the formula is the same nationwide. AttendUX tracks live ratio against your sector + size cell.

Can AttendUX handle Jubail petrochemical mega-plant with 1,000+ workers?

Yes. Multi-site + multi-shift supported at scale. Pattern: 3-shift continuous operations with Saudi 50% OT rate, labor-accommodation reconciliation, GOSI differentiation (Saudi 29% vs expat 2% occupational), Nitaqat sector tracking. Memory-confirmed scaling for 1,000+ worker deployments.

How much does AttendUX cost for a 100-employee Dammam business?

For 100 employees in Dammam, AttendUX costs approximately $3,000-$5,000 per year depending on tier — same Saudi Gulf pricing as Riyadh/Jeddah. No regional differential. No setup fees, no implementation consultants, 7-day free trial. Significantly cheaper than enterprise alternatives (Darwinbox/Workday typically $8-$15/user/month = $9-18K/year for 100).
