Background

An employee filed a case before the First Instance Authority for Settlement of Labour Disputes in Mecca against a company requesting they reinstate him and pay his salaries.

The First Instance Authority issued a ruling 2/21/2008 dismissing the employee's request to be reinstated to work because the reason for his dismissal was valid.

The employee filed an appeal before High Authority for Settlement of Labour Disputes (SLHASLD), which examined the case and stated the employee had not denied his behaviour towards the regional director of the company or being investigated. The SLHASLD stated the First Instance Authority had discussed this when the case was considered and the employee had not provided evidence what could change this decision.

Decision

The SLHASLD issued a ruling upholding the appealed ruling.
