to resign from my company, where I have a two-year contract. I’ve completed one year and three months, but the company hasn’t paid me my vacation for last year, and they don’t follow health regulations, which forces me to work with non-sterilized materials, putting both my health and my clients’ health at risk. Additionally, they haven’t paid me for overtime in more than three months. My contract states that I can resign at any time, so I would like to know if I have the right to resign for cause based on the non-payment of my vacation, the non-payment of overtime, and the inadequate working conditions.

There are several sections of the law which apply to your situation:
1. Article 82 of Saudi Labor Law states that the employer should give workers an annual paid vacation of not less than twenty-one days. If you have not received this, the company is in violation of the law.
2. Article 90 specifies that employees should receive overtime for any hours worked beyond their regular hours. If you're not being paid overtime, it's a violation of this section.
3. Article 38 specifies the working environment and tools provided by an employer should not pose a risk to the health of an employee. Working with non-sterilized equipment can be considered a health risk, and not following health regulations is a clear violation of this law.
The Saudi Labor Law also highlight the rights of the employee to leave the job without notice if the employer does not meet contractual obligations (Article 81) and if the employer has misled the worker at the time of contracting with regard to the terms of work (Article 80). It's recommended to discuss these violations with your employer or the Human Resources Department and keep a record of these conversations. If the company continues to ignore these violations, you are allowed to resign for cause without notice.
