The Nitaqat program classifies businesses into different tiers based on their compliance with Saudization quotas. Companies must hire a specific percentage of Saudi nationals based on their industry and workforce size.
Failure to meet Saudization requirements can lead to penalties, restrictions on hiring foreign employees, and difficulty in renewing work permits (Iqamas). Businesses can improve their Saudization status through strategic hiring, training Saudi employees, and leveraging HR outsourcing services in Saudi Arabia.
Massar Business Solutions offers Saudization compliance services, helping businesses navigate hiring strategies and HR policies to meet Saudi labor law requirements efficiently.
