Background

An employee filed a case before the First Instance Authority for Settlement of Labour Disputes (FIASLD) in Dammam requesting an addition of his previous service time with the Foreign Telecommunications Office.

The FIASLD issued a ruling dismissing the case because it had been previously considered.

Decision

The employee filed an appeal before the SLHASLD which stated the FIASLD had based its decision on the grounds that the case had been previously settled and a ruling had been issued by the first instance authority and upheld by the high authority which was in line with law. The SLHASLD added that the employee had failed to provide evidence which could change the ruling and therefore the SLHASLD issued a ruling upholding the FIASLD ruling.
