KSA: Update on Online Registration Process for Employment Contracts
Saudi Arabia’s Labour and Social Development Ministry (MLSD) has issued a draft Decision on the mandatory requirement for private sector employers to upload their entire workforce’s employment contracts to the General Organisation for Social Insurance’s (GOSI) electronic portal. The draft law has been sent for public consultation and is expected to come into effect in the next couple of weeks. Depending on the total number of workers, companies will have to upload contracts for a specific portion of their headcount within deadlines set out in the Ministerial Decision. The uploading process must be completed for the whole workforce by the end of 2019.
