❓ Frequently Asked Questions — Saudi Legal Hub

How is end-of-service gratuity calculated if I resign?
Under Article 85: less than 2 years = no gratuity. 2–5 years = one-third. 5–10 years = two-thirds. 10+ years = full gratuity. However, resignation under Article 81 (employer breach) grants 100% regardless of tenure.
What is the maximum probation period under Saudi Labour Law?
90 days, extendable once by mutual written agreement to a maximum of 180 days total.
Can foreigners own 100% of a business in Saudi Arabia?
Yes, most sectors allow full foreign ownership after obtaining a MISA investment licence. Certain activities (oil exploration, military, real estate in Mecca/Medina) require special approvals or Saudi partnership.
