yaiks... very bad news.... its better not to tell that you have other opportunity.. just exit hehehe

Hello friends,

Under the Saudi Labor law, there is a clause which entitles the employer to prohibit an employee to return to Saudi for a period of 2 to 3 years if the employer feels that the employee has 'confidential information that could be used against their interest' if passed on to their competitors.

This rule basically applies to business development and marketing personnel, some companies use this to blackmail their employees. The best solution is to first convince your employer that you can not damage interests of previous company, if this fails a lawyer specializing in labour laws will definitely help.

Thanks for the information Riazcdki.

how MOH can ban some one for 2 years?

how you will know that the employer banned the employee? from the time the employee sign the exit contract? or you will not know?
