Article 14 of the Saudi Insurance Authority Statute

This article specifies the law that governs the Authority's relationship with its employees.

The rule: The staff of the Insurance Authority are subject to the provisions of:

• The Labor Law.
• The Social Insurance Law.

What does this mean? By the text of this article, the Authority's relationship with its staff is subject to the Labor Law, which regulates employment relationships, and to the Social Insurance Law as regards insurance coverage. An employee's rights and obligations in the employment relationship are found in the provisions of the Labor Law, and registration and insurance entitlements in the Social Insurance Law.

The article does not list the details of these rights; they are in the two laws it refers to, and the article does not explain how the Authority's internal regulations apply alongside them.

This article connects to Article 15, which provides for publishing the statute in the Official Gazette and its taking effect after 90 days from publication, and to Article 13, which requires the Authority to submit an annual report to the Prime Minister.

A member of the Authority's staff with a dispute relating to their work should refer to the provisions of the Labor Law, and for social insurance matters to the Social Insurance Law.
