Workers' Rights in Saudi Labor...

According to Article 58 of the Saudi Labor Law, workers have the right to maintain their original workplace without any relocation that requires changing their residence without their written consent. This right ensures stability and fundamental rights in a stable and reliable work environment.

However, Article 50 allows for exceptional periods where employers can assign workers to work in a different location due to urgent circumstances. This period is limited to thirty days per year, allowing the employer to relocate the worker without requiring written consent.

It is noteworthy that in such cases, the employer is required to bear the costs of the worker's transportation and accommodation during this exceptional period. This reflects concern for the welfare and interest of the worker, alleviating the financial burden resulting from temporary assignment to a new location.

Through this system, Saudi Arabia demonstrates its commitment to protecting workers' rights and providing a stable and reliable work environment, reflecting its vision for sustainable development and economic prosperity by encouraging investments and enhancing productive and organized work.
