Contracting & operations
Labour supply: from request to timesheet invoice
Request workers by trade, headcount and duration from licensed manpower companies, and follow every worker in the engagement: iqama and licence with their expiry dates, extensions and replacements, and timesheets with their invoices and payments.
Available in the dashboard
- Licensed, verified companies only
- Alerts 30 days before an iqama expires
- Timesheet e-invoice via Ataam ERP
Manpower licensing
Labour supply on Ataam is available only to manpower companies licensed by the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development (MHRSD) or through the Ajeer platform.
MHRSD licence
The supplier adds the licence source, number and expiry date to its profile.
Or through Ajeer
For companies that loan their workers through Ajeer, with the licence number and expiry date.
“Licensed ✓ (verified)”
After the Ataam team verifies it, the badge shows on offers, engagements and supplier cards; before that it shows “Pending verification”.
Worker roster & expiry alerts
The supplier adds the workers of each engagement, and the buyer sees them for site access.
Every worker’s details
Name, nationality, iqama number (10 digits starting with 1 or 2) and expiry, trade, licence or certificate number and expiry, files and photo.
Within the headcount
Active workers never exceed the headcount agreed in the engagement.
Iqama and licence alerts
An “Expires in N days” badge within 30 days and “Expired” after, with notifications to supplier and buyer at 30 days, 7 days and on the day.
Visible to the buyer
The buyer sees the roster and each worker’s status (active or replaced) without side messages.
Extensions & worker replacement
Extension request
The buyer asks for a new end date with a reason; the supplier accepts and the engagement is updated, or declines with a reason. Every extension is logged.
Worker replacement request
The buyer asks to replace a worker with a reason; the supplier enters the replacement and the previous worker is marked “Replaced”.
Direct replacement
The supplier can replace a worker directly (for example an expiring iqama or leave), and the record stays visible to both parties.
Full history
Every extension and replacement with its date, reason and the other party’s decision.
Timesheets & their invoice
The supplier submits the timesheet with the attendance sheet, the buyer approves it, then the timesheet e-invoice is issued and payments are matched to it.
Timesheet attachments
Attendance and sign-off sheets (up to 10 files) on submit or revise.
Buyer approval
The buyer approves the timesheet or returns it with notes.
Timesheet invoice via Ataam ERP
After approval the supplier issues the e-invoice from Ataam via Ataam ERP (when eligible), with the QR code.
Matched payments
Payments recorded against the timesheet reach the ERP as payment entries allocated to the timesheet invoice, and appear in “Collections”.
A worked example
10 workers × 26 days × 160 per day on a one-month timesheet.
- Approved timesheet
- 41,600.00
- VAT (15%)
- + 6,240.00
- Timesheet invoice total
- = 47,840.00
Amounts in Saudi riyals. Ataam never holds money: the buyer records the payment and the supplier confirms receipt.
Licensed companies only
Labour supply is available only to manpower companies licensed by the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development or through the Ajeer platform. Ataam shows the verification status and does not replace either party’s legal obligations.
Frequently asked questions
Who can offer labour supply on Ataam?
Manpower companies licensed by the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development, or companies that loan their workers through the Ajeer platform. The company adds its licence details and the Ataam team verifies them to show the “Licensed ✓ (verified)” badge.
When do iqama expiry alerts arrive?
30 days before expiry, then 7 days before, then on the day — to both supplier and buyer — with a badge on the worker in the roster. The same applies to a worker’s licence or certificate when entered.
How do I extend an engagement?
From the engagement: “Request extension” with the new end date and a reason. The supplier accepts and the end date is updated, or declines with a reason.
How do I replace a worker?
Request the replacement with a reason; the supplier adds the replacement worker and the previous one is marked “Replaced”. The supplier can also replace directly.
Is there an e-invoice for timesheets?
Yes. After approval the supplier issues it from Ataam via Ataam ERP when the company is eligible, and payments recorded against the timesheet are matched to that invoice in the ERP.
Does the buyer pay through Ataam?
No. Ataam never holds money; the buyer transfers directly to the supplier and records the payment, and the supplier confirms receipt.
