Supplier and client compliance
Saudi Ajeer Compliance Checklist 2026 for Manpower Suppliers and Client Companies
Use this checklist as an operational review, then confirm the exact service and current legal requirements on the official platform or with qualified advisers.
The central Ajeer rule for this topic
The 2026 outsourcing framework addresses specified services performed by expatriate workers already residing in Saudi Arabia under the direct supervision of the service-providing establishment through Ajeer. It should not be described as an automatic sponsorship transfer.
Use this checklist as an operational review, then confirm the exact service and current legal requirements on the official platform or with qualified advisers.
Four controls employers should settle first
Before access
Check approved permit, identity, occupation, site, dates, induction and supervisor.
During work
Audit attendance, duties, overtime, welfare, incidents and changes.
At closure
End access, reconcile records and complete the applicable platform action.
Supplier pre-deployment review
Confirm that the contracted activity fits the current Ajeer service, the worker is eligible, employment records are current, occupation matches the task, the beneficiary and site are correct, and direct provider supervision is designed where required. Check wages, overtime, insurance, transport, accommodation, PPE and complaint channels.
Beneficiary pre-access review
Verify the approved worker list against identity, establishment, location and period. Confirm the service scope, site induction, safe access, restricted areas, working schedule, timekeeping, service acceptance and incident contacts. Do not issue access based only on a supplier spreadsheet or an expired screenshot.
Joint controls during the assignment
Compare Ajeer records, attendance, access, occupation and work orders through scheduled samples. Record replacements, additional sites, changed shifts and extensions through change control. Investigate any mismatch without delay and stop unauthorized work while the responsible parties determine the correct action.
Closure evidence
At the planned end or early termination, reconcile final attendance and overtime, remove access, recover equipment, close incidents, confirm worker welfare and return arrangements, and complete any required cancellation, expiry or other platform action. Retain the contract, permit, roster, change and closure records under one reference.
How this service fits the Ajeer cluster
This article focuses on a joint supplier-beneficiary control framework before, during and after deployment. It should be read with the main 2026 Ajeer rules pillar, which explains the wider supplier, beneficiary, employee, temporary-permit, supervision and sponsorship-transfer framework.
The same facts should not be published as multiple city or industry pages with only names changed. Each implementation page must reflect the real service demand, sites, roles, risks and operating controls of its property.
