End-of-Service Award After 6 years when the contract ends or is terminated
You receive the full award: 3.5 months of wage.
The Rule That Applies
When the contract ends or the employer terminates it, the full award is due (Article 84).
How It Is Calculated
(5 × ½ month) + (1 × 1 month) = 3.5 months
Worked Examples
| Monthly wage | Award |
|---|---|
| 5,000 SAR | 17,500 SAR |
| 8,000 SAR | 28,000 SAR |
| 10,000 SAR | 35,000 SAR |
| 15,000 SAR | 52,500 SAR |
| 20,000 SAR | 70,000 SAR |
| 30,000 SAR | 105,000 SAR |
Cases That Change the Result
- Resignation due to force majeure, or by a woman within six months of marriage or three months of giving birth, earns the full award (Article 87).
- Dismissal under Article 80 earns no award.
- Service beyond whole years counts the extra months and days in proportion.
