Services and engagement

What happens in the free consultation?

A 30-minute session on Google Meet or by phone where we listen to your challenges and give an initial analysis and practical advice you can apply right away, with no obligation to sign up afterwards.

How do you price your services?

The cost depends on the scope, company size and project length. After the free consultation we send a written proposal with the scope, deliverables and timeline before any commitment.

What is the difference between external consulting and hiring an HR manager?

Consulting gives you specialist expertise and a neutral outside view without the cost of a permanent role, which suits building or fixing systems. Many companies start with consulting to build the foundation, then hire an internal lead to run the system once it is complete.

Do you keep our company data confidential?

Yes. We define data access in writing, handle it through protected channels, and can sign a non-disclosure agreement before work starts.

Law and compliance

What is the new Labor Law No. 14 of 2025?

The new law replaced Law No. 12 of 2003 and introduced updated provisions on employment contracts, modern work patterns and dispute resolution. We advise every company to review its contracts and internal regulations against its text, and we can carry out that review for you.

Are internal regulations mandatory for my company?

The law requires companies with the number of workers it specifies to set work and disciplinary regulations and have them approved by the competent authority. In any case they are the best way to protect the company and keep decisions consistent.

What are an employer's social insurance obligations in Egypt?

Payroll and systems

How do I calculate employee salaries correctly in Egypt?

Start from basic pay, allowances and incentives, then deduct the employee's social insurance share, salary tax under the current brackets and any deductions in the regulations. You can try it with the Egypt salary calculator.

What is the difference between HRIS, HRMS and HCM?

HRIS focuses on employee data and records, HRMS adds process management such as payroll and attendance, and HCM also covers talent, performance and development. We help you choose the level that matches your real need.

How do I build an effective performance appraisal system?

Define the purpose of the appraisal first, link every role to measurable performance indicators, train managers on appraisal conversations, and keep follow-up regular through the year rather than once at the end.

How do I calculate end-of-service in Saudi Arabia?
