The Business Employment Contract serves as a fundamental legal document for establishing employment relationships in Saudi Arabia's private sector. It is essential for any business entity operating in Saudi Arabia when hiring employees, whether Saudi nationals or expatriates. The contract must comply with the Saudi Labor Law (Royal Decree No. M/51), Wage Protection System regulations, and Saudization requirements while incorporating Islamic Shariah principles. This document is crucial for defining employment terms, protecting both employer and employee rights, and ensuring regulatory compliance. It should be used when hiring permanent employees, whether for fixed-term or unlimited-term employment, and must be written in Arabic (with optional additional languages) to be legally enforceable in Saudi Arabia.
