Course Overview
What Is the Saudi Labour Law Course and Why Is It Useful Right Now?
This is a live online Saudi labour law and HR compliance training programme built for professionals who have to apply the law correctly in real workplace situations, not just read it. The course covers the core law structure, contracts, probation, wages, working hours, overtime, leave, women-related leave rules, resignation, termination, end-of-service awards, Qiwa-linked workflow and employer record-keeping responsibilities.
It also addresses what changed through the 2025 amendments and what HR teams should now understand in 2026 from the executive-regulation and implementation angle. That makes the course useful for both immediate job use and broader HR compliance capability in Saudi Arabia.
By the end of this course, you will be able to
- Interpret core Saudi labour law rules in plain working language across contracts, probation, leave, wages, termination and end-of-service benefit situations.
- Apply the law more confidently inside HR, payroll, admin, employee-relations and management workflows without turning every routine issue into outside legal escalation.
- Use practical documentation, Qiwa process awareness and structured compliance habits to reduce avoidable errors in Saudi employment handling.

Why this matters now
2025 Saudi labour law amendments and current 2026 HR implications
Many professionals are not only looking for a course. They are also trying to understand what changed and what HR teams should now be doing differently.
- The Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development states that the labour law amendments came into effect on 19 February 2025, with executive regulations published alongside implementation.
- That means HR and management teams now need cleaner understanding of contract form, resignation and termination handling, women-related leave rules, probation logic, Qiwa-linked workflows and compliant documentation practices.
- The course converts those official changes into workplace actions: what to review, what to document, what to calculate and what to escalate.
What the official sources point to
- Standard contract structure and required employment-contract details
- Probation rules, extension logic and termination rights during probation
- Annual leave, women’s leave and protected leave situations
- End-of-service award rules and resignation-linked variations
- Qiwa-based contractual processes and electronic termination workflow
Practical outcomes
What you should be able to handle better after the course
The goal is practical capability. Learners should leave stronger in day-to-day Saudi employment handling, not only more familiar with article numbers.
Contracts
Review Saudi employment contracts more confidently
Understand required contract elements, fixed-term issues, renewal logic, non-Saudi contract sensitivities and where additional clauses may create risk.
Probation
Handle probation and early exits with fewer errors
Apply the probation window correctly, understand extension rules, know when compensation and EOSB do or do not arise, and document decisions more carefully.
Working time
Apply working-hours, overtime and leave rules properly
Improve control over attendance-sensitive decisions, annual leave use, paid-leave expectations and overtime-linked employment questions.
Women-related leave
Interpret women’s leave and protected situations more carefully
Gain better clarity on maternity leave structure, extension possibilities and other workplace leave situations where policy and law need to align.
End of service
Calculate EOSB and final settlement logic more accurately
Understand half-month and one-month patterns, resignation-linked treatment, last-wage logic and the records needed for more defensible settlement handling.
Qiwa workflow
Use Qiwa-aware process thinking in terminations and contracts
Follow the basic electronic workflow for contract termination and understand where platform process and legal process need to be aligned.
