The e-services available on the Absher also include the ”print” service which allows the beneficiary to view all the data of the employees working under an employer, exactly like a printed document, and it could be forwarded to any department or establishment that demands such information.

New Authorization Service

Al-Yahya added that the employer with an Absher account can make use of the Comprehensive Authorization service which enables him to authorize any person to perform any service for his subordinates or the expatriate workers under him. The Absher also offers a business intelligence platform, which displays all the establishments run by an employer including the names and other details of all the workers in each establishment separately.
