GCC Citizens Social Insurance Calculation for Saudi Arabia

Social Insurance contributions are calculated and deducted from all employees who have a GCC nationality and are working in any of the GCC countries in accordance with the Unified Law of Insurance Protection Extension.

Use the Employee GOSI Details Calculation Card to capture info required for the calculation of Social Insurance such as:

• Whether or not it has been agreed that the country of citizenship will pay any difference in contribution amounts.
• Choice of exception type if the person is a UAE citizen

Note: You must consider the Currency Conversion Rates across the country of citizenship and country of employment for SI calculation for GCC citizens working in Saudi Arabia. You must set up conversion rates before processing SI for GCC citizens.

If the total of Employer Contributory Salary and Social Allowance Base exceeds the maximum legislative salary, the Social Allowance Base is limited to take the total up to the maximum salary.

Note: Ensure that the effective date reflects when you intend to use these balances in your social insurance calculation.

Note: The balances suffixed Employer Contributions paid by the Employee hold the result of the calculation when an employee pays the contribution on behalf of the employer on social allowance earnings.

Calculation Value Definition Overrides

You can override the delivered calculation value definitions to customize the social insurance calculation either at an LDG or PSU level.

Note: Values entered as an override on the Enterable Calculation Values on the Calculation Card tab take priority over any override at the LDG level. If you don’t specify any override values, then the delivered values are used.

If all employers within an LDG use the same value for a particular calculation value definition, then that value can be overridden at the calculation value definition, LDG level.

If an employer wants to use a value that is different from other employers within an LDG then they should be able to override the calculation value definition at the PSU level.

This gives the ability to override delivered calculation value definitions used to calculate social insurance or pension fund deductions.
