SCSLD 432/1/1448/2011

This case involved a claim by an employee for salary, the transfer of their sponsorship and a service certificate. The claims were rejected as the employee had signed a settlement. However, on appeal a service certificate was awarded although the other requests were rejected.

Background

An employee filed a claim with the First Instance Authority for Settlement of Labour Disputes (FIASLD) in Mecca against a hospital requesting they transfer her sponsorship, pay her salary, and give her a service certificate.

The FIASLD issued a ruling dismissing the claim because there was evidence that the employee had received all of her entitlements as per a settlement document which the employee did not deny.

Decision

The employee filed an appeal with the SLHASLD requesting service certificate. The SLHASLD stated that under the Labour Law the employee should be given a service certificate. As for the other requests, the FIASLD had discussed these requests and dismissed them and the employee had not provided any evidence to the SLHASLD what could change the ruling therefore the SLHASLD issued a ruling upholding the appealed ruling and requesting the hospital to give the employee service certificate.
