When does termination without lawful cause constitute unfair dismissal? This article explains potentially unlawful termination under Saudi Labor Law, the distinction between lawful termination and unfair dismissal, and the rights and procedures that help workers protect their legal position.
Delayed wages or non-payment: procedures and rights under Saudi law. Wages are a core element of the employment relationship, and any delay or refusal to pay may affect a worker's fundamental right and require a clear legal response according to the circumstances of the case.
Experience you can examine
This case study involved a labour dispute in which the trial court denied the employee compensation for the remainder of his contract despite established delays in the employer’s wage payments. CounselO reframed the issue on appeal, establishing that the employee’s termination resulted from a material breach by the employer rather than voluntary abandonment. The Court of Appeal adopted this recharacterisation, partially overturned the judgment, and awarded the employee SAR 280,000 while affirming his other rights.

View work sampleThe case concerned a private-sector employee whose employer filed an urgent application to prevent him from travelling, alleging financial irregularities and an ongoing internal investigation. CounselO’s defence focused on the principle that a travel ban is an exceptional measure that cannot be ordered merely because allegations or an internal investigation exist. Rather, there must be proof of a genuine risk that the employee will travel and that a specific right will consequently be lost. The documents also showed that the employee had expressed his willingness to return to work, while the company itself had prevented him from resuming his duties despite his employment contract remaining in force. The court accepted the defence arguments and dismissed the travel ban application, confirming that restricting freedom of movement requires credible evidence and clearly established statutory conditions, not merely unresolved allegations.

We reanalyzed the file and built a new legal theory based on the continuation of the employment relationship despite the transfer of the establishment’s ownership and the change in its legal form. Connecting the evidence with a judicial admission helped establish the worker’s rights, leading to the reversal of the first-instance judgment and an award of the worker’s entitlements.**
