Document background
The Work Separation Agreement is a crucial document used in Saudi Arabia when formally ending an employment relationship through mutual agreement or unilateral termination. It ensures compliance with Saudi Labor Law (Royal Decree No. M/51) and related regulations while protecting both employer and employee interests. The document typically becomes necessary during corporate restructuring, voluntary resignations, or mutually agreed terminations, providing clear documentation of final settlements, end-of-service benefits, and ongoing obligations. It must align with local labor office requirements and often requires ratification by the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development to be fully enforceable.
