Disciplinary warning and workplace investigation in Saudi Arabia

How we help with disciplinary warning and workplace investigation

• Evidence and document review

  Our review covers investigation invitation, allegation details, applicable policy, relevant messages and records supporting the response. We identify what supports your position and what needs clarification or further evidence.

• What is the current Saudi deadline to challenge a disciplinary penalty?

  Article 72 requires a written grievance to the employer’s competent authority within 30 days of notification, excluding official holidays. If rejected or not decided in writing within 15 days of submission, the worker may object before the labour court within 30 days, excluding official holidays, from rejection or expiry of that decision period, whichever is earlier. Preserve delivery and response evidence for each stage. Ask which allegation and policy are involved and note the response date. Prepare a factual chronology and identify records or witnesses that address the allegation. Preserve the original warning and response; an investigation notice should not be confused with a final finding.
