Document background
The Employee Liability Waiver And Indemnification Agreement is essential for businesses operating in Saudi Arabia where employees engage in activities with inherent risks or potential liabilities. This document is particularly relevant in sectors such as construction, manufacturing, and industrial services where workplace hazards are common. The agreement must carefully balance the employer's need for protection against liability with the employee's fundamental rights under Saudi Labor Law and Shariah principles. It should be used when employees are required to perform duties that carry specific risks, but must be structured to exclude any attempted waiver of mandatory employee protections under Saudi law. The document typically includes detailed descriptions of waived liabilities, indemnification obligations, and explicit acknowledgments of understanding by all parties.
