Drop the payroll file to see the rows Mudad will reject, and why — before you upload, not after.

The file never leaves your browser. Everything runs on your machine — no salaries and no IBANs are uploaded.

What it checks — and what a spreadsheet cannot

Most rejections surface days after the upload. All of them were detectable before it.

The IBAN check digits

A length check waves through an IBAN with two digits transposed, and the bank rejects the transfer anyway. The tool runs ISO 7064 (mod-97) — the same test the bank runs.

Net salary in halalas

Basic + allowances − deductions must equal net. In floating point, 1234.10 + 0.20 is 1234.2999999 and a correct file reads as broken. Here the arithmetic is in minor units, so it is exact.

Duplicate employee IDs

Two rows for one ID is a merge accident that pays twice and reconciles to nothing. The tool points back at the row where the ID first appeared.

What breaks the file before any of that

Excel in an Arabic locale saves semicolons rather than commas, some HR systems export Arabic-Indic digits in salary columns, and many files begin with a BOM. Each is handled rather than reported as a failure.

Common questions

Is the payroll file uploaded to your servers?

No. Everything is parsed in your browser; neither the file nor any row leaves the machine. It contains salaries, national ID numbers and bank accounts — handing that to a third party to have its formatting checked is not a reasonable trade.

What format does the file take?

A UTF-8 CSV with columns for employee ID, name, IBAN, basic salary, housing allowance, other allowances, deductions, net salary and payment date. Arabic and English headers are both accepted, since payroll systems do not agree on the spelling.

Why is an IBAN of the right length still rejected?

Because an IBAN carries its own check digits. Transposing two digits keeps it 24 characters but breaks the checksum: the spreadsheet passes it and the bank rejects it. It is the most common cause of a transfer that "went" and then bounced.

Does a clean result mean Mudad will accept the file?

No. The tool checks the structural causes of rejection. It does not know your establishment file, your GOSI records or your subscriptions. Only Mudad accepts or rejects.

How many rows can it take?

Ordinary files are checked instantly. The first two hundred problems are listed on screen, and the full list downloads as a CSV.

The tool checks file structure against the published Wage Protection System rules. It does not connect to Mudad and does not replace it; the platform remains the only authority for your establishment.
