The Previous Employment Certificate is a crucial document required under Saudi Arabian labor regulations, specifically mandated by Article 64 of the Saudi Labor Law. This document must be issued to employees upon the termination of their employment relationship, regardless of the reason for separation. The certificate serves multiple purposes, including facilitating new employment opportunities, supporting visa applications, and meeting various regulatory requirements. It typically includes verified information about the employment period, positions held, and final compensation details. The document must be issued on company letterhead and authenticated with official signatures and stamps to ensure its validity within the Saudi Arabian jurisdiction. For foreign workers, this certificate often plays a vital role in their ability to transfer sponsorship or exit the country.
