Document background
The Employment Reference Letter is a crucial document in the Saudi Arabian employment landscape, serving as an official record of an individual's professional history with an organization. It is typically required when employees transition between jobs, apply for visas, or need to verify their employment status for official purposes. The document must adhere to Saudi Labor Law requirements and should be drafted carefully to provide accurate information while avoiding potential legal liabilities. Reference letters commonly include details about employment duration, positions held, and basic performance information, and may need to be provided in both English and Arabic depending on their intended use. These letters play a significant role in workforce mobility within Saudi Arabia and internationally, particularly given the Kingdom's large expatriate workforce and increasing focus on workforce nationalization under Vision 2030.
