Saudi labor law; A practical guide to rights at work
Saudi Arabia’s Labor Law changed in February 2026, while many employment contracts have not been updated.
Royal Decree M/51 governs private-sector employment in Saudi Arabia.
The amendments changed rules on resignation procedures, probation periods, and reasons for ending employment contracts.
Article 81 allows employees to leave without notice and retain their full entitlements if the employer first breaches the employment relationship, such as by failing to pay wages.
