Background

An employee filed a case against an employer before the First Instance Authority for Settlement of Labour Disputes (FIASLD) requesting the employer to pay his dues.

The FIASLD ruled that the employer should pay the employee 12916.64 Riyals in holiday pay leaves and compensation and dismissed the other requests.

The employee appealed the ruling before the SLHASLD and requesting to be reinstated and paid his salary.

The SLHASLD said that the case file revealed that the employee had not signed attendance logs and the company had warned him about this. The SLHASLD said that the employee had signed the dismissal decision without objection.

Decision

The SLHASLD upheld the appealed ruling in the second and third points and amended the first point by requesting the employer to pay the employee 3916.94 Riyals for holiday pay.
