Odstupné a ukončení pracovního poměru v Saúdské Arábii: vaše práva (2026)

Under Article 85 of the Saudi Labor Law, an employee who completes between two and five years and then resigns is entitled to one-third of the award. The base award is half a month's wage for each of the first five years, and one-third of that is taken in this case.

It is calculated on the employee's 'last wage' as defined by the Labor Law. Because the definition of wage can include certain components, it is best to verify which parts of your pay are included with a competent authority.

Under Article 77, it is the amount agreed in the contract, or otherwise 15 days' wage for each year of service for an indefinite-term contract (or the wage for the remaining term of a fixed-term contract), with a minimum of two months' wage, in addition to the end-of-service award.
