Document background
The Notice of Termination of Contract is a crucial document used in Saudi Arabia when ending an employment relationship, whether initiated by the employer or in response to an employee's resignation. This document must strictly comply with Saudi Labor Law requirements, including adherence to statutory notice periods, proper calculation of end-of-service benefits, and consideration of Shari'ah principles. The notice serves multiple purposes: it formally documents the termination decision, specifies the notice period and last working day, outlines the handover process, and references any post-employment obligations. It's essential for protecting both employer and employee rights and ensuring a smooth transition while maintaining compliance with local regulations. The document typically triggers various internal processes including final settlement calculations, clearance procedures, and visa/sponsorship cancellations where applicable.
