SCSLD 432/2/990/2011

This case involved the levels of end of service gratuity and compensation owed to an employee who had been dismissed unfairly. An admission by the company representative was used to determine the holiday pay.

Background

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

The FIASLD dismissed the case and said that the employee was absent without justification.

The employee appealed the ruling before the SLHASLD.

Decision

The SLHASLD stated the case file revealed that the company had dismissed the employee from his job without justification and so the employee deserved an end of service gratuity and compensation. The SLHASLD also said that the representative of the company had admitted the employee deserved 47 days of holiday pay.

The SLHASLD ruled that the company should pay the employee 48627 Riyals for an end of service gratuity, 51700 Riyals for holiday pay plus 100000 Riyals.
