How the Saudi calculation works

Article 84 · Base award

Half the final applicable monthly wage per year for the first five years. One full monthly wage per year after five years. Portions of a year are prorated.

Article 85 · Resignation

Below two consecutive years: zero. From two through five years: one-third. More than five but less than ten years: two-thirds. Ten years or more: full award.

Article 87 · Exceptions

Full award can apply to force majeure beyond the worker's control, or to a female worker ending the contract within six months of her marriage contract or three months of giving birth.

Important limits and special cases

Article 80 has specific requirements for dismissal without an award; merely being dismissed does not establish Article 80. Article 81 preserves statutory rights in qualifying worker departures. Domestic workers have a separate award rule: one month's wage for each four consecutive years of service with the same employer. Other contractual entitlements, pensions and regimes require separate review.
