Hire in Saudi Arabia,
compliantly,
without the complexity.

Expanding to Saudi Arabia

Saudi Arabia is undergoing rapid economic diversification driven by Vision 2030, transforming into a global commercial hub for technology, infrastructure, financial services, and renewable energy. This transformation has nurtured a highly skilled pool of local and international professionals.

An EOR solution enables international companies to recruit talent in Saudi Arabia swiftly while bypassing complex commercial registration, local office leasing requirements, and Saudization setup barriers.

Employment Regulations in Saudi Arabia

Under Saudi Labor Law, regular working hours are capped at 8 hours per day or 48 hours per week (reduced to 36 hours per week for Muslim employees during Ramadan). Initial probation periods can last up to 90 days, extendable up to 180 days with written employee consent. Employment contracts for foreign nationals must be fixed-term, while indefinite contracts are reserved for Saudi citizens.

Taxation and Employee Benefits

Employers contribute around 11.75% to GOSI (General Organization for Social Insurance) for Saudi nationals and 2% for non-Saudi personnel. Mandatory statutory benefits include 21 to 30 days of paid annual leave, comprehensive private health insurance coverage, official public holiday entitlements, and the statutory End of Service Benefit (ESB) gratuity.

Saudi Payroll Administration

Payroll is distributed on a monthly schedule. Salary disbursements must be remitted in local currency through the official Wages Protection System (WPS) monitored by the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development (MHRSD) to ensure statutory wage compliance.

Intellectual Property and Data Privacy

Under Saudi Patent and Copyright regulations, intellectual property created by employees within the scope of their employment contract automatically vests in the employer. Data privacy and transfer compliance are strictly governed by the Saudi Personal Data Protection Law (PDPL) overseen by SDAIA.
