Document background
The Appointment Request Letter is a crucial document in the Saudi Arabian employment process, serving as the initial formal communication between an employer and a potential employee. This document is typically used after successful interviews and internal approvals but before the issuance of a formal employment contract. It outlines key terms of the proposed employment relationship while ensuring compliance with Saudi Labor Law and relevant ministerial resolutions. The letter should be drafted carefully to include conditional elements such as regulatory approvals, security clearances, or medical examinations as required by Saudi law. When using an Appointment Request Letter, organizations must consider Saudization requirements, visa regulations for foreign workers, and specific industry requirements that may affect the appointment process.
