Pricing
Pricing — request a scoped proposal.
MENA payroll commercial terms are scoped per engagement. We don't publish per-employee per-month rates because the right structure varies with country mix, headcount, delivery model, and contract horizon. Tell us about your operation and we come back with a full proposal — typically within one business day.
Global Kinect prices MENA payroll on a per-engagement basis rather than via a published rate card. The management fee is scoped to country mix, headcount, delivery model (Bureau, Managed, or EOR), and contract horizon. Management fee invoiced from a UK supplier in sterling on request under standard UK B2B place-of-supply rules. Statutory pass-through is denominated in local currency at cycle rate and passed through at cost, line-itemised on every invoice. Tell us about your operation and we return a proposal — typically within one business day.
UK-buyer context
What the engagement looks like commercially
The supplier is UK B2B. The operating layer is MENA. Below, what that means for invoicing, place of supply, and contract structure.
Sterling invoicing on request
Management fee invoices in pounds sterling for UK and Irish clients on request. Statutory pass-through is denominated in local currency at the cycle-date FX rate and passed through at cost. Invoicing structure agreed during onboarding.
UK B2B place of supply
Management fee is supplied from a UK supplier (Global Kinect Ltd, GB513719302, registered in England and Wales) under standard UK B2B place-of-supply rules. Your finance team treats the invoice as it would any UK supplier invoice.
Contract term aligned to your operating reality
Contract horizon scoped per engagement — typically 12 months with rolling renewal. Where you're delivering payroll into a regulated end-client engagement, we align contract term to your end-client's contract term.
Pass-through is at cost, line-itemised
Statutory pass-through (employer contributions, end-of-service provisions, insurance premiums) flows through at cost. Itemised on every invoice. No mark-up on statutory cost; the management fee is the supplier charge.
Commercial commitments
What we commit to in every engagement
The commercial discipline behind the proposal. Same shape across Bureau, Managed, and EOR engagements.
No true-up surprises
Per-cycle reconciliation matches inputs and outputs cleanly. No end-of-quarter or year-end true-up to surprise your AP team. Variance reports are issued before sign-off so any anomaly is addressed in cycle, not after.
No band-jumping mid-engagement
Headcount banding is agreed at the proposal stage. Adding employees within an agreed band doesn't trigger a rate change mid-engagement. Band transitions are handled at renewal or by mutual agreement, not by stealth.
No reconciliation fees
Variance reports flag anomalies before sign-off, not after. Reconciliation work that's part of the cycle isn't separately billed. The management fee covers the service end-to-end.
No lock-in penalties
Contract terms are clear and fair. Notice periods are scoped per engagement, sized to the operational reality of handing payroll back to you or your incumbent — not to penalise an exit.
Delivery models
Three routes — pricing scoped per engagement
Each model carries a different cost profile. Pricing for any of them is scoped after a discovery call so the proposal reflects your actual operation, not a generic shape.
What we need
To scope a proposal cleanly
Six inputs, none of them onerous. Most are knowable from a short conversation with your HR or finance lead.
- Countries you operate in (or want to hire in)
- Approximate headcount per country
- Delivery model preference (Bureau, Managed, EOR — or 'we'll advise')
- Target start date for the first cycle
- Contract horizon you're working to
- Anything specific about your AP, audit, or finance close calendar that should shape the engagement
