Employment Law

Sick leave and annual leave entitlement dispute

Sick leave and annual leave entitlement dispute concerns the property or project, each party's legal interest, the transaction or possession history and the event that created the dispute. In Saudi Arabia, the answer depends on the applicable employment law framework, the competent authority or forum, the available evidence and any notice or deadline. CounselO uses this page to focus the initial review on the facts that change the legal position and the outcome you need: clarify title, possession, contractual responsibility, registration status or the remedy needed to protect the property position.

Labour dispute

Correcting the Legal Characterisation of Employment Contract Termination

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.

Employee Travel Ban Application

Travel Ban Case Against an Employee

The 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.

Legal Case Study

When the First Judgment Is Not the End: How CounselO Reversed an Employment Dispute

**CounselO successfully reversed the course of an employment case in which the first-instance court had dismissed the claim. 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.**
