Document background
The Self Termination Letter is a crucial document in Saudi Arabian employment relations, used when an employee decides to voluntarily end their employment contract. This document must comply with the Saudi Labor Law (Royal Decree No. M/51) and related ministerial resolutions, which stipulate specific requirements for resignation notices, including mandatory notice periods and end-of-service benefit calculations. The letter serves as official documentation of the employee's intention to resign and typically includes the resignation date, notice period, last working day, and handover arrangements. It's an essential tool for maintaining professional relationships and ensuring legal compliance in employment termination processes, while protecting both employer and employee rights under Saudi law.
