Article 62 of the Saudi Labor Law is pivotal in safeguarding workers' rights in the Kingdom. Its objective is to secure employees' entitlement to wages when they are ready to work but prevented due to factors beyond their control, often attributable to the employer.
The article focuses on circumstances where workers are unable to perform their duties, such as delayed provision of necessary work conditions or technical hindrances. If an employee is present and prepared to work but unable to do so due to employer negligence, Article 62 grants them the right to receive compensation for the period of non-performance.
This provision underscores the importance of affirming workers' rights and ensuring fair financial compensation when they cannot work due to employer shortcomings. It guarantees equitable compensation for workers unable to work due to reasons attributable to their employer.
Thus, the Saudi system plays a crucial role in protecting workers' rights and upholding justice in the relationship between workers and employers, fostering a sustainable and favorable work environment for all.
