Saudi Arabia enacted labour law reforms in 2025, in terms of its Vision 2030 commitment to modernising the labour market. There was also a strong political will to attract foreign investment, improve working conditions, and promote a fairer and more equitable workplace for all involved.
For workers, national and emigrant, the law means the empowerment of employee rights, guaranteed protections, and improved access to career advancement in Saudi Arabia.
Key Changes in Saudi Arabia’s 2025 Labour Law
Simplified Contracts
Every job offer now comes with a simple, written contract stating your salary, benefits, hours of work, paid leave, and terms of termination. This allows you to know exactly what you are signing up for when you accept the job.
Online Employment Systems
Contracts, work permits, wage details, etc., are now administered through online systems run by government-endorsed contractors. This simplifies and speeds up the process and also provides transparency and data protection for your employment records.
Greater Saudization Targets
Saudization targets will increase the number of job positions required to be filled by Saudi workers. This is good for local workers, but there are still jobs for skilled workers from abroad who are needed in fields with a shortage of local talent.
Greater Mobility of Workers
You are now allowed to change employers at the end of your contract, without your current employer’s consent. This improves your ability to find better opportunities within Saudi Arabia.
Greater Accountability
Employers must now shoulder significantly greater penalties for late salaries, unsafe working conditions, or hiring without a valid license, giving you better defensive protections as a worker.
What This Means for Job Seekers
For skilled workers, these reforms contribute to a more stable and warm working environment:
-
More clarity about job terms creates less complexity for the employer.
-
Faster and digital processes mean less time lost waiting for the contracts to be approved and permits issued.
-
The ability to ramp down and pick up another position means you can assess whether the new role was better.
-
Greater worker protection means the employer must provide fair wages and safe working conditions.
