Saudi Arabia:
The Saudi Ministry of Justice
said the Kingdom’s labor courts had conducted more than 330,000 hearings and
issued more than 110,000 rulings in the past two years.
It said more than 30 percent of the cases last
year were resolved and closed at their first hearing, 40 percent took two
hearings to resolve, and the remaining cases were resolved in three sessions.
“The amicable settlement period for labor disputes
is 21 days,” it added. “If no settlement was reached in that period, the
beneficiary can upload the case electronically through the Najiz portal.”
The ministry has enabled the filing of all types
of labor cases on Najiz.sa, whether those cases are about labor law or concern
domestic workers.
