Use Case

With Cercli, companies can process fully compliant local payroll across the entire MENA region without having to switch between multiple systems or bank files. The platform helps HR and finance teams pay employees on time via WPS, bank transfer, SADAD, or other approved local payment methods.

In addition, Cercli automates statutory deductions and severance payments, accurately calculates gross and net amounts, and manages employee onboarding and offboarding during the current month using configurable pro-rata rules. Localized digital pay stubs, along with managed registrations and filings, help ensure compliance with legal requirements and avoid penalties.

A single bank transfer can fund payroll for multiple countries, while Cercli automates disbursements and compliance. For companies with international contractors, the “Remote Contractors” module centralizes the management of a decentralized workforce in a single system and supports expansion to and from the MENA region.

  • Payouts in multiple currencies with no hidden or withdrawal fees
  • Contractors receive the exact amount agreed upon
  • Creation of tax-compliant invoices ready for audit
  • Streamlined payroll, contract management, and compliance across national borders
  • More efficient processes for finance and HR teams with a lower error rate

Target Audience

Human resources, payroll, and finance teams at companies operating in the MENA region, including the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, the broader GCC region, and North Africa.

This includes companies with multiple branches and cross-border organizations, as well as firms expanding into or operating in the MENA region that require localized payroll processing in compliance with local regulations.

The solution is designed for SMEs as well as mid-sized and large enterprises, including remote-first teams, that require compliant local payroll processing integrated with an HRIS.
