The Nitaqat tier system, 2026 structure. The Yellow buffer is gone: a company that used to have room to slip now moves directly into Red.
The Problem
Your policy is global.
Your compliance risk is entirely local.
For multinationals in KSA, workforce risk sits between HQ policy and local execution, spread across five government systems that were never designed to be reconciled by a remote HR function.
Nitaqat
Company and now profession-level quotas across 269 roles.
GOSI
Social insurance registration and salary of record.
Mudad
Wage protection and payment verification.
Muqeem
Residency, Iqama and work-permit status.
0
Yellow-band buffer left. The tier was removed in 2026.
269
Professions that now carry their own Nitaqat quota.
370K+
MHRSD inspection visits recorded across the Kingdom in the past year.
Up to 10x
Increase in certain labour-law fines under the 2026 penalty schedule.
What We Do
We give leadership a defensible, evidence-based view of KSA workforce compliance, and the structure to keep it current.
Our work sits at the intersection of regulatory advisory and on-the-ground execution. We review how an organisation is positioned against Qiwa, Nitaqat, GOSI and Mudad, reconcile global policy against Saudi statutory requirement, and put a governed structure in place to keep the two aligned. The qualifying wage for Saudization credit now stands at SAR 4,000 a month, one of several thresholds that shift the calculation without a single hire changing.
Assess
Map the current position across every Saudi government system that touches the workforce, benchmarked against comparable operators.
Align
Reconcile global HR policy with Saudi statutory requirement, closing the gap before it becomes exposure.
Sustain
Keep that position governed and current, so compliance is a standing state, not a periodic exercise.
How We Engage
Two phases. One governed outcome.
Workforce Governance Diagnostic
A structured, benchmarked review of Qiwa, GOSI, Mudad and Nitaqat standing.
- Gap map, ranked by severity
- Sector benchmark
- Prioritised remediation roadmap
Workforce Governance Office
Ongoing oversight that keeps that position current and defensible.
- Portal governance
- Nitaqat monitoring
- Regulatory tracking
Why TASC Corporate Services
Consulting-grade clarity. Execution-grade ownership.
We understand the advisory layer and the government-portal layer, which is what makes this engagement faster, more practical, and more cost-efficient than a large advisory-only model.
