HR and payroll compliance in Bahrain

Orvo HCM keeps each country's rules out of its core, in a country pack. Here is what works for companies in Bahrain today, and what a pack for Bahrain is designed to cover.

Available today in Bahrain

  • Employee records for every company

    One record per person from hire to exit, for each company you run in Bahrain and abroad, each company with its own base currency, such as BHD.

  • Every site you run

    Each establishment keeps its address and time zone, so rules that depend on where people work can follow the site, not the head office.

  • Biometric attendance

    ZKTeco fingerprint and face devices send punches to the cloud, or through an on-site gateway that holds them until they are safely received.

  • Leave and approvals

    Leave types, balances, and requests on web and mobile, approved by the right people in order, with every decision kept on record.

What a country pack for Bahrain is designed to cover

Payroll for Bahrain depends on its country pack. Gulf packs follow the Pakistan pack, and each is designed to cover:

  • Social Insurance Organization

    Contributions to the SIO for each employee, unemployment insurance included, with its monthly reports.

  • Wage protection

    Salary files in the format Bahrain's wage protection system requires, with each submission tracked.

  • LMRA work permits

    Each foreign employee's work permit from the Labour Market Regulatory Authority, with expiry dates tracked.

  • Bahrainization

    Your standing against the Bahrainization percentage that applies to your company, with alerts before a threshold.

  • End-of-service benefits

    End-of-service benefits as Bahraini law sets them, for nationals and expatriates.

  • Working time and leave rules

    Annual leave, sick leave, and working hours as Bahrain's labour law sets them, as starting policies you can make more generous.

Every rate, ceiling, and threshold will be entered from official sources and checked by payroll advisers before it is used. None will be guessed.
