Saudi labor law governs employment contracts, working hours, salaries, end-of-service benefits, and workplace regulations. Employers must provide employees with a written contract in Arabic, defining salary, working conditions, and benefits.
The Nitaqat program (Saudization) requires companies to hire a percentage of Saudi nationals, depending on the sector and company size. Payroll compliance includes mandatory contributions to GOSI (General Organization for Social Insurance) and adherence to Saudi labor laws regarding paid leave, holidays, and termination policies.
Businesses seeking assistance in hiring, payroll, and HR outsourcing in Saudi Arabia can partner with firms like Massar Business Solutions to ensure compliance with Saudi employment regulations.
