Saudi Labor Law<\/strong><\/a>, any employees weekends are not considered as a part of annual leave.<\/p>\nWeekend leaves are spearate from Annual leaves and Employers shouldn’t count weekend leaves as a part of Annual leaves.<\/p>\n
As most of the Expatriates living in Saudi Arabia aren’t aware of all the Saudi Labor Laws, many companies have been counting their weekends in annual leaves.<\/p>\n
But, now if a company is violating Saudi Labor law and couting Weekend leaves as Annual leave will have to pay a huge fine of 1,00,000 Saudi Riyals (SAR).<\/p>\n
Hoping that these Fines and Laws are towards helping all the foreigners and Expatriates living in Saudi Arabia and getting their weekend leaves separately apart from the annual leave.<\/p>\n
If any such fine is imposed to a company and if the payment is delayed, then they will have to pay double fine and repeating the same violation can also Shut down the company.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
