The relationship between employee and employer is governed by the Labor Law and its implementing regulations, which balance the rights and obligations of both parties. Disputes frequently arise over the termination of the contract, wages, or dues — and here the lawyer plays a pivotal role in legally characterizing the facts and defending the client's position. At Salman Radad Aljuaid Law Firm, we provide balanced representation that serves both the employee seeking their entitlement and the employer keen to apply the law.
We are aware of the sensitivity of the labor relationship and its impact on the livelihood of individuals and the stability of enterprises. That is why we handle every case with care that combines legal precision with a keenness to resolve the dispute in the shortest time and at the lowest possible cost.
The Labor Law sets out the provisions of the employment contract, its duration, and the grounds for its termination, and addresses matters of wages, working hours, leave, end-of-service award, and the compensation due upon breach of the contract. The Labor Courts have jurisdiction over disputes arising from the employment relationship, often preceded by a stage of amicable settlement before the competent authority. We carefully study the contract and the circumstances of its termination before determining the most suitable legal path for the claim or defense.
The law distinguishes between lawful and unlawful termination, each entailing different consequences in terms of dues and compensation. Accordingly, a careful study of the circumstances of the contract's termination and its clauses is the starting point of any claim, since the legal characterization of the facts determines the rights that may be claimed before the court.
A labor claim usually begins with an attempt at amicable settlement before the competent authority. If it is not resolved amicably, it is referred to the Labor Court for adjudication in accordance with litigation procedures. We take care to prepare the file with the contract, correspondence, payslips, and whatever proves the claim, then to draft the statement of claim, submit defenses within their deadlines, and follow the hearings through to judgment, while commencing enforcement procedures where needed to recover the awarded amounts.
We are keen to observe the statutory deadlines set for filing labor claims, since delay may affect the admissibility of the case. We also give our clients a clear picture of the paths available to them and their expected outcomes, enabling them to make the appropriate decision between settlement and litigation.
