⏰ The Statute of Limitations Rule in Labor Law

Saudi labor law sets a limit of only 12 months to claim labor rights from the date the employment relationship ends. After this period, the court may dismiss your case.

📉 Why Delay Hurts You

  • Evidence weakens (messages get deleted, witnesses forget)
  • The employer makes accessing documents harder
  • Your negotiating position weakens over time
  • Risk of the legal deadline expiring
