BaghdadiLaw’s experience in compensation for early termination of fixed-term employment in Saudi Arabia
BaghdadiLaw brings nearly seven decades of legal practice, since its founding in 1957, to fixed-term contract termination claims, with detailed knowledge of the remaining term, termination provisions and the loss claimed. Ending a Saudi fixed-term contract before its agreed expiry raises a different question from choosing not to renew it. The review must establish the operative end date, any renewal and the reason for early termination before calculating compensation. A contract clause can also affect the statutory calculation.
Labour Law Article 77 distinguishes fixed and indefinite contracts and begins with the contractual-compensation qualification. Its paragraph 3 sets a two-month wage minimum for the compensation in paragraphs 1 and 2. This is not a rule that every early departure automatically qualifies as unlawful termination. A proposed renewal is not the same as an effective renewal. Establish which term bound the parties when the termination occurred and whether the compensation clause addresses that event.
We agree the work your matter needs: Review an agreed exit, dispute the termination basis or calculate the potentially applicable contractual or statutory compensation. Keep wages and end-of-service benefit separate. The deliverable is agreed for your file: A term-and-renewal chronology, clause assessment and alternative calculations showing the assumptions behind each figure.

Before requesting advice on compensation for early termination of fixed-term employment in Saudi Arabia
Is compensation always the salary for the remaining contract term?+
Article 77 provides that measure for unlawful termination of a fixed-term contract where the contract does not specify compensation for that event, with the statutory minimum stated there. The clause, termination basis and remaining term must be examined before applying the formula.
Is non-renewal an early termination?+
Not necessarily. Compare the effective expiry date, renewal mechanism and actual end date before treating the events as identical.
Does a notice payment replace every other entitlement?+
No single payment label answers all entitlements. Review its basis and allocate it separately from compensation and accrued dues.
