Article 27 of the Saudi Labor Law is one of the provisions aimed at regulating the relationship between employers and workers. It sheds light on the necessity of organizing the recruitment process in certain activities and professions, particularly in specific regions and provinces. Employers are required, at the discretion of the minister, to implement necessary measures to ensure the registration of workers in employment units.
The article stipulates that "when necessary, the minister may require employers, in certain activities and professions, and in certain regions and provinces, not to employ workers unless they are registered in employment units under the conditions and terms specified by his decision."
This procedure reflects the Saudi authorities' commitment to effectively regulate the recruitment process, with the goal of enhancing workers' rights and improving working conditions. This approach allows the government to intervene when needed to determine employment conditions and ensure their compliance with local laws and regulations.
On the other hand, this measure contributes to achieving sustainability in the labor market and ensuring the provision of fair and organized employment opportunities. It emphasizes the importance of striking a balance between the needs of employers and the rights of workers, reflecting Saudi Arabia's commitment to developing the work structure and maintaining labor market stability.
