Company violating labor law

The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) has clear labor laws in relation to your concerns. I suggest that you follow the lawful steps to address these violations.

1. Discuss the issue with your employer: As an initial step, approach your employer or human resources department and shed light on the labor law articles being violated in hopes that your concerns are due to an oversight and can be rectified internally.

2. File a complaint with the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development: If your employer continues to ignore your valid concerns, you have the right to file a complaint with the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development. This can be done via their electronic portal or over the phone.

Now, let's look at these laws:

- According to Article 108 of Saudi Labor Law, "The employer shall pay the employee, at the end of his contract, an end-of-service award of a half month's wage for each of the first five years and one month's wage for each of the following years. The employer shall calculate the portion of the year in proportion to the time of service and the award to be granted to the worker at the end of the contract shall be calculated on the basis of the last wage."

- Article 109 states that "If the work relation ends, due to the worker's resignation, then he shall be entitled to one third of the award after a service of not less than two consecutive years and not more than five years. He shall be entitled to two thirds if his service exceeds five successive years but is less than ten years, and to the full award if it exceeds ten years."

- Article 78 provides that "The worker shall be entitled to a paid annual leave of twenty-one days, to be increased to thirty days if the worker spends five consecutive years in the service of the employer."

In violation of these specific laws, your employer may face penalties if they refuse to comply after being officially notified by the relevant authorities.

Remember, the law is designed to protect your rights as an employee. Don't hesitate to use the mechanisms in place to ensure these rights are respected.
