How the award works
- Half a month’s wage for each of the first five years.
- A full month’s wage for each year after five.
- Part years count pro rata.
- It’s based on your last wage, which normally includes regular allowances such as housing.
If you resign
| Years of service | Share of the award |
|---|---|
| Less than 2 | Nothing |
| 2 to under 5 | One third |
| 5 to under 10 | Two thirds |
| 10 or more | Full award |
Worked examples
7.5 years on SAR 10,000
Five years at half a month (SAR 25,000) plus 2.5 years at a full month (SAR 25,000) gives a full award of SAR 50,000. If the employee resigned, they’d receive two thirds: SAR 33,333.
Waiting for the 10-year mark
Someone at 9.5 years who resigns gets two thirds of their award. Staying six months more, to 10 years, gives the full amount, which can mean tens of thousands of riyals more.
Some resignations still qualify for the full award, including resignation due to force majeure, and women who resign within six months of marriage or three months of giving birth.
