Under the Saudi Labor Law, any employer's unjustifiable delay in the settlement of an employee's end of service benefits shall be considered as one of the violations of the Labor Law. The Ministry of Labor and Social Development has the authority to penalize employers for such violations. Article 90 of Saudi Labor Law states "Upon the termination of the work relation, the employer shall pay the worker all of his entitlements within a maximum period of one week from the date of the termination."
Regarding the undertaking, the Saudi Labor Law in its Article 83 prohibits employers from preventing a worker (whether during the work relation or on its termination) from joining any other employer unless the worker has undertaken in writing not to compete with the employer or not to divulge any industrial or trade secrets related to the activity of the establishment and that for the period and within the limits allowed by article (83) of this law.
If your employer's request for non-compete and non-disclosure of trade secrets was not included in your employment contract, you may challenge it as per Article 83.
In order to proceed, you may lodge a complaint against your employer with the Ministry of Labor and Social Development for non-payment of your final settlement as well as for the unreasonable request of signing an undertaking. The Ministry would initiate an investigation against the employer for the alleged violations.
I'd also advise you to collect all the documents, emails or other evidence like screenshots of your conversations that you have to support your claims. These will be valuable in the process of your complaint.
Also, do bear in mind to consult with a Legal expert or a Lawyer specializing in Labour Law in order to ensure that your rights are fully protected throughout this process.
