Labour & Employment Law Lawyers in Riyadh

Riyadh is home to a large number of companies, organisations and small and medium-sized businesses, so disputes between workers and employers there take many forms: from claims for late wages and end-of-service benefits, to unlawful dismissal, disputes over leave and overtime, and disagreements about the terms of the employment contract or a non-compete clause. A labour lawyer can read the contract and correspondence and identify which rights can be claimed before any action is taken.

A labour dispute usually begins with a request for amicable settlement through the "Wudi" platform run by the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development (MHRSD). If the dispute is not resolved, the claim is referred to the labour courts, and many procedures can be followed online through Najiz. A lawyer helps draft the request, estimate the claims and represent the client at hearings, whether the client is a worker or a business.
