Document background
The Provisional Appointment Letter is a critical document in Saudi Arabian employment relationships, used when an employer wishes to hire an employee subject to a probationary period. This document type is specifically designed to comply with Saudi Labor Law requirements, particularly Article 53 regarding probationary periods. The letter serves as both an offer of employment and a provisional contract, outlining the terms of employment while maintaining the provisional nature of the appointment. It includes essential information such as compensation, benefits, working hours, and evaluation criteria, all aligned with current Saudi labor regulations. The Provisional Appointment Letter is particularly important in the context of Saudi Arabia's recent labor reforms and Vision 2030 initiatives, requiring careful attention to both traditional employment principles and modern workplace practices.
