Steps to Off-board an Employee in Saudi Arabia

A ready-to-use template that helps HR teams off-board employees correctly in line with the Saudi Labor Law — without errors or legal risks.

What does the template include?

This template contains a comprehensive checklist covering every step of off-boarding an employee, from the moment the decision is made to settling the final dues, in compliance with the Saudi Labor Law and GOSI requirements.
