Under Saudi Labor Law employees are entitled to a minimum of 21 days of paid annual leave per year during their first five years of service rising to 30 days per year thereafter. Leave entitlements apply equally to Saudi nationals and expatriate employees. Employers must schedule and honor annual leave and are prohibited from withholding or substituting leave entitlements with cash payments except upon termination. Accurate leave tracking through Qiwa-integrated HRMS platforms is essential to maintain compliance and avoid labor disputes.
