Terms of use and disclaimer
By using this site you agree to these terms. Please read them, especially the parts about what the content is and where it stops.
Who runs this site
This is a personal awareness website owned and run by Zainab Mustafa Alwosaibi, legal specialist, based in the Eastern Province, Saudi Arabia. Contact: info@zainabmlegal.com, or the contact form.
What the content is: general awareness, not advice
- Zainab Alwosaibi is a legal specialist holding a Bachelor of Laws. She is not a licensed lawyer.
- Everything on this site is general awareness about published laws and regulations. It is not legal advice or a view on any particular person's or establishment's situation, and it does not replace a licensed lawyer.
- Reading the content, using the calculators or writing to me does not create any professional relationship, and no lawyer-client relationship.
- For a specific case, please contact a licensed lawyer through the Najiz lawyers directory.
Accuracy and dates
Explanations of the Labor Law follow its text as amended, in force since 19 February 2025, and the date the content was last reviewed appears at the bottom of every page. I review the content regularly, but laws, regulations and procedures can change after that date, and errors can happen despite care.
Official sources prevail. If anything on this site differs from the official text, the text published by the official body applies, including the Bureau of Experts at the Council of Ministers, the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development, Qiwa and the Ministry of Justice. English translations on this site are unofficial working translations; the official Arabic text is the reference.
Calculators
- Guidance estimate only, not a legal opinion.
- Private sector under the Saudi Labor Law only. They do not cover civil servants or military personnel, or the groups that Article 7 of the Law excludes, such as domestic workers, agricultural workers and private shepherds.
- The result depends on the accuracy of what you enter and does not reflect the terms of your contract or your particular circumstances.
- Official reference: the Qiwa calculator, and also the Ministry of Justice labor calculator.
- The calculators run in your browser and send nothing you enter to any server.
No services through this site for now
The site does not currently offer any paid services or packages, and no contract is concluded through it.
Limits of liability
To the extent the law allows, I am not responsible for any decision taken or not taken in reliance on the general content of this site or on calculator results. You are responsible for checking the official text and for consulting a licensed lawyer about your own situation.
Intellectual property
- The site's text, design, logo and graphics belong to Zainab Alwosaibi unless stated otherwise.
- Short quotations for non-commercial awareness purposes are welcome, with credit and a link to the page. Copying whole pages, using the logo, or suggesting any partnership or endorsement requires written permission.
- Quoted legal texts belong to their official sources. Names of government bodies and platforms belong to their owners; mentioning them implies no approval or endorsement, and the site does not use their logos.

The site links to official websites and other platforms, which open in a new tab. I do not control their content or policies and am not responsible for them.

These terms and the use of this site are governed by the laws in force in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and the competent judicial authorities in the Kingdom have jurisdiction over any dispute arising from them.
Changes to these terms
I may change these terms; the date of the last update appears at the top of the page. Continuing to use the site after a change means you accept it. If the Arabic and English versions differ, the Arabic version prevails.
