Questions we get about Kuwait.
Does Magnar handle PIFSS contributions in Kuwait?
Yes. Social security contributions are applied per employee each pay run, with the different treatment of Kuwaiti nationals and expatriate staff handled by the payroll engine rather than by hand.
Is Magnar used by banks in Kuwait?
Yes. Gulf Bank runs Magnar across roughly 1,600 employees, alongside other financial institutions in the region including Arab Bank.
Can Magnar run payroll for multiple legal entities in Kuwait?
Yes. Magnar is multi-company by design: unlimited legal entities, each with its own payroll calendar, statutory rules, approval workflows and data isolation, all administered from one system and reported on together.
Does Magnar work in Arabic?
Yes. The web application and the employee self-service mobile apps run in English, Arabic (full right-to-left) and Spanish, so each employee works in their own language while HR reports in one.
Can Magnar integrate with our existing ERP?
Yes. Magnar integrates natively with SAP Business One and posts to SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics and Odoo through the Integration Hub, so payroll journals reach the general ledger without re-keying.
