Starting a Facility in Saudi: Can Anyone Share Insights on Framing Employment Contracts?

Hi all,

Just want to know if anyone is working in Saudi in the HR department. My company is planning to start a facility in Saudi, so we are in the process of framing an employment contract. Can anyone help me, please?

For help, please visit the Ministry of Labour Saudi Arabia website at [www.mol.gov.sa](www.mol.gov.sa).

Thank you all for the posts.

Muneeb, is it necessary to prepare the contract in Arabic too? I went through the guidelines posted on the Ministry of Labour Saudi Arabia website. It's mentioned that the contract should be in dual language.

Dear,

The official language is Arabic here. It is a must to draft the employment contract in Arabic. Some of the articles mentioned in the contract are:

Any disputes arising from the interpretation, execution, or cancellation of this contract shall, in the event of failure of the parties to reach an amicable settlement, be settled by arbitration according to the regulations of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Arabic shall be the language reliable for the interpretation and execution of the contract. In case of a discrepancy between the foreign text and the Arabic text, the Arabic text shall prevail.

If your company is planning to start some business in Saudi Arabia, I think you will get the right information from [Welcome to Invest In Saudi](http://www.sagia.gov.sa).
