- Not paid? File a labour complaint with the Ministry of Human Resources (HRSD) online. It starts with a free friendly settlement.
- If settlement fails, the case goes to the Labour Court (via Najiz).
- Don't wait: labour claims are generally not heard after 12 months from the end of the job.
Questions people ask
How is end-of-service calculated in Saudi Arabia?+
Half a month's wage for each of the first five years, and a full month's wage for each year after that, with partial years counted proportionally (Art. 84). If you resign, the award is reduced by length of service (Art. 85).
What do I get if I resign?+
Under 2 years: nothing. 2 to under 5 years: one third. 5 to under 10 years: two thirds. 10 years or more: the full award.
Are housing and transport included?+
The law uses the actual wage (basic plus fixed allowances), but some contracts say basic only. Choose the option that matches your contract in the calculator.
