Labor Law
Administered by the Ministry of Labor, labor law in Saudi Arabia is based on the International Labor Organization's model. Saudi Labor Law governs most aspects of employer/ employee relations, such as hours of work, leave, termination rights, medical benefits and repatriation.

The Labor Law is protective of employees in general and overrides conflicting contractual provisions agreed under another jurisdiction, unless they are beneficial to the employee.

The Ministry of Labor issues a model form of labor contract in Arabic which is widely used, but other forms of contract are enforceable, provided they comply with the Labor Law.

End-of-contract gratuities are equivalent to 15 Days the salary for every year of the first five years of service and 30 days for every year thereafter.
