How the Saudi end of service award works

Article 84 of the Saudi Labor Law gives every worker an end of service award based on their last wage, which includes basic pay and fixed allowances such as housing and transport:

• Half a month's wage for each of the first five years.
• A full month's wage for each year after that.
• Part years count pro rata.

If you resign

Article 85 cuts the award when the worker resigns:

• Under 2 years of service: nothing.
• 2 to 5 years: one third.
• 5 to 10 years: two thirds.
• 10 years or more: the full award.

If the employer ends the contract, or a fixed-term contract simply runs out, you get the full award.

Exceptions that give the full award

Article 87 gives the full award if you leave because of force majeure, or if a woman ends her contract within six months of marriage or three months of giving birth.

Questions people ask

Is the Saudi EOSB based on basic salary?

It is based on your last actual wage, which usually means basic pay plus fixed allowances such as housing and transport. Check your contract.

Do I get end of service if I resign in Saudi Arabia?

After 2 years you get a third, after 5 years two thirds, and after 10 years the full award. Under 2 years you get nothing.

How long does the employer have to pay?

Within a week of the end of the contract if the employer ends it, and within two weeks if the worker resigns.

Are unused leave days paid?

Yes. Article 111 entitles you to your wage for annual leave you have earned but not taken.
