BaghdadiLaw’s experience in dismissal from public employment in Saudi Arabia

BaghdadiLaw brings nearly seven decades of legal practice, since its founding in 1957, to government employment dismissal disputes, with a firm understanding of the decision, authority, investigation, opportunity to respond and affected employment rights. A dismissal involving a Saudi public body must first be classified by the employment regime. A civil-service appointment and a contract governed by labour rules should not be treated as identical merely because both employers are public entities. The dismissal record must be read with the appointment and any applicable disciplinary process.

The Board of Grievances Law addresses specified rights under public-service regimes. The applicable employment and disciplinary rules must still be identified for the employee. Private-sector labour compensation formulas should not be imported automatically. Separate an alleged disciplinary breach from expiry of an appointment or a structural employment change. The same word “termination” can conceal materially different facts and remedies.

We agree the work your matter needs: Use the applicable internal grievance, assess an administrative challenge where competent, or identify another employment route if the contract belongs to a different regime. The deliverable is agreed for your file: An employment-regime assessment, dismissal chronology and analysis separating reinstatement-related questions from financial entitlements.

Common questions

Before requesting advice on dismissal from public employment in Saudi Arabia

Does working for a government body always mean an administrative case?

The employer’s identity is not enough. Review the appointment instrument, contract and governing regime before selecting a forum or applying a dismissal rule.

Is the personnel-file description decisive?

Review it with the appointment instrument and applicable rules. An informal job label may not establish the legal employment category.

What if the employee was not heard?

Identify the process required for that decision and preserve any response requests or unanswered submissions. The significance depends on the governing procedure.
