Adapting to the New Labour Law in Saudi Arabia: What Businesses Should Know?

Let’s be honest—things are changing fast in Saudi Arabia’s job market. Companies are growing, the workforce is evolving, and with that comes an updated set of rules. Yep, the Saudi Labour Law has had a makeover. These new changes aim to support Vision 2030 and bring more balance to how businesses and employees work together.

 

Now, if you’re running a business, these updates might feel like a lot to take in—but with the right tools, staying compliant isn’t as hard as it sounds.

 

So, What’s Actually New?

 

 

The New Labour Law brings some noticeable reforms across different stages of employment. Whether you’re hiring, managing leave, or letting someone go, there are some main points to keep in mind:

 

  • Contracts are now more structured – You’ll need to clearly define whether it is a fixed-term, part-time, or full-time deal.
  • Leave policies have been updated – Annual leave, sick leave, and even parental leave rules are more clearly laid out now.
  • Dismissals need to follow stricter rules – There’s more focus on legal documentation and proper notice before termination.
  • Employee rights are sharper – Things such as working conditions, parental benefits, and fair treatment are all reinforced.

It’s about making things clearer and fairer for both sides.
