Document background
The Notice of Termination of Employment is a crucial document used in Saudi Arabia when an employer needs to formally end an employment relationship. It must comply with Saudi Labor Law (Royal Decree No. M/51) and include specific elements such as notice periods (typically 30 days for monthly-paid employees), final settlement calculations, and end-of-service benefits. This document is essential for protecting both employer and employee rights, ensuring proper documentation of the termination process, and maintaining compliance with local labor regulations. It serves as an official record of the employment termination and outlines the transition process, including handover requirements and final settlements. The notice should be drafted carefully to ensure it meets all legal requirements and clearly communicates termination terms to avoid potential disputes.
