To check the functionality, let us create a Saudi citizen with all the details. For that, we can open the Employee module.

Then, we can click on the Create button to create a new employee. In the Employee form view, we can provide the employee name as Zayed in the Name field. Then fill in the Job Position field. We can set the Job position as Sales Manager. After that, provide all the required information, such as Employee Card Number, Salary Card Number or Account Number, and all other information in the corresponding fields. The Resume details can be given under the Resume tab. Likewise, you can give Work Information, Private Information, HR Settings, Insurance Details, Employee History, and other details under the respective tabs.

Under the GOSI Information tab, you have the fields to describe the Type of GOSI, Issued Date, and GOSI Number. Here, we can provide Saudi as a Type. Then with the help of a calendar pop-up, we can allocate the date in the Issued Date field. The GOSI Number can be given in the GOSI Number field. After providing details, save the record.

Now we have added GOSI eligibility for the employee Zayed. So let us move on to the Payroll module.

So here in the Employee field, we can choose the employee Zayed with the help of the dropdown menu. When we choose the employee, all the other fields will be automatically allocated with the relevant information we already provided in the employee window.

We can save the data using the Save button on the top left. Now for the employee Zayed, employee GOSI is defined.
