The Problem We Solve
Why Hamad Exists
82% of Kuwait HR teams cite compliance as their biggest pain point
12 hours/week spent on manual compliance tasks
78% still use spreadsheets for at least one HR function
Most HR platforms in the region are built for UAE/Saudi and adapted for Kuwait as an afterthought
Kuwait has a unique regulatory environment with specific requirements around WPS salary disbursement, PIFSS social security, MOC licensing, and PAM Kuwaitisation quotas. Generic Middle East HR platforms treat Kuwait as a "configuration" on top of a UAE or Saudi template — leaving HR teams to bridge the gap with manual work and spreadsheets.
Our Solution

WPS salary file generation — compliant with Central Bank of Kuwait standards
PIFSS contribution calculations and submission-ready reports
MOC licensing — real-time tracking and renewal alerts
PAM Kuwaitisation quotas — live ratio monitoring and compliance alerts
End-of-service (EOS) calculations — per Kuwait Labour Law
