What is unfair dismissal in Saudi Arabia?
The legal assessment depends on the contract type, termination ground, evidence, procedure and any agreed compensation clause.
Compensation and related rights
Where Article 77 applies and no contract amount controls, compensation differs for fixed-term and indefinite contracts and is subject to the statutory minimum. Notice pay, wages, leave and end-of-service benefits require separate calculations.
What to do next
Preserve the termination decision, contract, payroll, correspondence, warnings and performance records. Start with the official amicable-settlement route and obtain advice based on the actual documents.
