Overview

Labor claims require timely action and precise documentation

Saudi labor law provides defined rights to employees — end of service benefits, notice period compensation, unpaid wages, and protection against arbitrary dismissal. But asserting these rights requires a formal process before the Labor Court, with specific evidence, filings, and timelines.

LEXIUM advises both employees pursuing claims and employers managing labor obligations — with a focus on accurate entitlement, practical strategy, and effective court representation.

Unfair Dismissal

Representing employees dismissed without cause or in violation of Saudi labor law, pursuing compensation and reinstatement where appropriate.

FAQ

Questions clients ask about labor cases

Am I entitled to end of service benefits if I was dismissed?

End of service entitlement depends on the reason for dismissal and the length of service. Arbitrary dismissal typically gives rise to both end of service benefits and additional compensation. LEXIUM advises on the full entitlement based on your specific circumstances.

Can I file a labor claim after leaving my job?

Yes, but there are time limits. Saudi labor law sets prescription periods for filing claims — typically one year from the date of the right arising. We advise on timing and the documentation required to file a strong claim within the applicable period.

Do you represent both employees and employers in labor disputes?

Yes. LEXIUM advises employees asserting their rights and employers responding to claims or managing workforce-related legal obligations — giving us a clear view of how disputes are assessed on both sides.

What documents do I need to file a labor claim?

The core documents are the employment contract, payslips, any termination letter, and correspondence with the employer. We advise on the specific documentation needed and help clients organise what they have before filing.
