Hi EB members, i need your help, i would like to have some reliable info regarding this;....my manager told me that the four days holiday of Eid is only applicable to private offices, but in construction/contracting business, it is only two days. How true is this? Is anyone here has a copy of Saudi Labor Law ruling about this providion? Please shed some light. Tnx...

It depends on the nature of the work you are doing, as a contractor I can not continue working in the project since the consultant in his vacation so I sticked to his calendar and give my workers 4 days Eid vacation, but in general I think the vacation should start from tomorrow 27th July to 1st August.

Article 59

The worker has the right to leave with full pay on holidays and occasions following:-

A - four days on the occasion of Eid al-Fitr starts the day after the 29th of the month of Ramadan, according to Umm Al-Qura calendar.

B - four days on the occasion of Eid al-Adha begins on stand Arafah.

C - one day on the occasion of the National Day of the Kingdom, and if this happens to today's weekly day- off or vacation within a two Eids the employer shall compensate the worker last day of vacation or paid whichever is wanted additional factor.
