Saudi Arabia has been undergoing significant economic and social reforms, leading to an increase in foreign workers and a need for a solid foundation of human resources from different nationalities and specializations. The country's ambitious vision for transformation and opening up to the global market has created a critical need for a diverse workforce with various skills and expertise.
The Saudi Labor Law for expatriates sets guidelines for various aspects, including employment contracts, working hours, holidays, leave, termination, and remuneration. It establishes a legal structure that aims to protect the rights and welfare of both expatriate workers and employers, promoting a harmonious work environment.
To regulate the employment of expatriates, Saudi Arabia introduced labor laws specifically addressing the rights and responsibilities of foreign workers. These regulations ensure that both employers and employees understand their legal obligations and rights, providing a framework for fair and transparent employment practices.
By implementing these regulations, Saudi Arabia is able to manage and support the employment of expatriates effectively, facilitating the participation of foreign workers in its economic development and achieving its long-term goals.
