Document background
The Offer Letter and Appointment Letter is a crucial employment document used in Saudi Arabia to initiate and formalize employment relationships. It serves a dual purpose: first as an offer of employment and then, upon acceptance, as a formal appointment letter that functions as an employment contract. The document must comply with Saudi Labor Law (Royal Decree No. M/51) and its implementing regulations, including specific requirements for employment terms, benefits, and working conditions. It typically includes essential information such as job title, compensation, benefits, working hours, and other employment terms, while also incorporating mandatory provisions required by Saudi law. This document is used across all employment levels and sectors, requiring careful attention to both standard employment terms and specific requirements for different position levels, particularly regarding benefits, allowances, and special conditions.
