The established global HR platforms were built for gender pay gaps and EEOC compliance. These are real problems. They are not the GCC's problems. Until Rasad, no dedicated platform existed for the workforce reality every GCC employer actually navigates.
A company can clear the general MoHRE floor and believe it is compliant while sitting significantly below the sector-specific regulator mandate, which carries two to five times the financial penalty. Rasad shows both, always.
Most boards significantly underestimate the Nafis subsidy. When subtracted from gross hire cost and compared against the fine per unfilled role, the financial case for compliance is often stronger than the board assumes.
Once housing, transport, school fees, and annual flights are included, expatriates in equivalent roles often earn 30 to 50% more than their national counterparts. It is almost always a surprise when seen for the first time.
For organisations with long-tenured workforces, EOSB is a material unfunded liability sitting quietly on the balance sheet. It crystallises suddenly when a restructuring or attrition event happens.
Three core modules analyse your live nationalization compliance, pay equity position, and EOSB liability. Three advanced modules serve board-level reporting, M&A due diligence, and transformation conflict detection. Select any module to go deeper.
Compliance scoring across every GCC nationalisation regime, from MoHRE to CBUAE, Nitaqat to Qatarization, with live fine exposure calculation and a forward roadmap to 2030.
The first GCC pay equity tool built around nationality-based disparity. It surfaces the total compensation reversal that catches almost every HR director off guard the first time they see it.
End-of-service gratuity calculated correctly across UAE mainland, DIFC, ADGM, KSA, Qatar, Oman, and Bahrain. Each jurisdiction has its own statutory formula. Rasad applies the right one.
Any GCC employer in a regulated sector with active nationalisation quotas. Most urgent: UAE insurance under CBUAE mandate, KSA healthcare under 2025 Nitaqat updates, Qatar energy, Bahrain banking.
Most companies believe they are compliant because they cleared the general MoHRE floor. The sector-specific regulator mandate, enforced by CBUAE or SAMA or QCB, is often two to five times higher and carries the larger penalty. Rasad shows both simultaneously.
Enter your country, sector, headcount, and number of nationals. Rasad applies the correct regulatory formula for that exact combination across 27 sectors and 6 states, producing a boardroom-ready report in under 60 seconds.
GCC employers under ESG scrutiny from institutional investors, or preparing pay equity analysis ahead of a board disclosure or listing. Particularly relevant for multinationals with South Asian and Western expat clusters.
When housing, transport, school fees, and annual flights are counted, expatriates in equivalent roles often take home 30 to 50% more than their national counterparts. No standard pay equity tool has ever shown this number.
Three separate lenses: the unadjusted basic salary gap, the total compensation gap once all allowances are included, and the adjusted gap after controlling for level, tenure, and performance.
Any GCC employer with a long-tenured expatriate workforce. Particularly critical before any restructuring, acquisition, or period where voluntary attrition may spike.
A 500-employee firm averaging eight years of tenure on AED 15,000 basic salary carries approximately AED 30 million in accrued gratuity. Most HRIS systems only calculate this number when an employee leaves.
UAE mainland: 21 days/yr (first 5), 30 days/yr (thereafter). DIFC: DEWS contribution-based. ADGM: new scheme from April 2025. KSA: different resignation vs. termination treatment. Qatar/Oman: 3 weeks/yr uncapped.
Executive risk ratios, a live fine accrual clock, sector peer benchmarking, and a 90-day regulatory early warning calendar. Built for the CFO and the Board, not the HR team.
A workforce liability schedule for transactions: EOSB accruals, regulatory fine run-rate, and the cost of reaching 2030 targets, expressed as deal valuation inputs for PE and M&A teams.
Identifies when an automation, restructuring, or digital transformation programme is working against nationalisation quota obligations. It is the strategic blind spot that consistently goes unnoticed.
Senior leaders who need workforce compliance translated into financial risk, not HR administration. Structured for board packs, audit committee presentations, and investor briefings.
Takes the nationalisation position and converts it into the language boards actually respond to: fine exposure as a percentage of EBITDA, an accrual clock running in real time, and a peer benchmark.
Boards and audit committees are increasingly being asked to attest to workforce compliance. This module gives them the evidence they need before the regulator makes the request.
Any transaction team acquiring or divesting a GCC business. EOSB liabilities and nationalisation non-compliance are material deal risks that traditional due diligence frameworks almost never surface.
A target company with 300 employees averaging seven years of tenure carries an EOSB liability that likely does not appear anywhere in the data room. Add the nationalisation fine run-rate and the true cost shifts considerably.
Institutional investors in GCC listings are beginning to require pay equity disclosure. A company with unexplained pay differentials across nationality clusters faces a disclosure risk that can slow down or reprice a listing.
Any GCC organisation running AI adoption, RPA, automation, or workforce restructuring while also trying to grow its national headcount. The two programmes are frequently in direct conflict.
Digital transformation eliminates back-office roles. Back-office roles are the most accessible entry points for national graduates entering the private sector. Running both programmes simultaneously, without coordinating them, is a structural contradiction.
If national employees leave at a rate that matches or exceeds the pace of hiring, the organisation never reaches its 2030 target. Rasad models the compounding effect of attrition on compliance velocity.
