Document background
The Disciplinary Action Letter is a crucial document in Saudi Arabian employment relations, used when formal disciplinary measures need to be implemented against an employee. It serves as an official record of workplace misconduct, policy violations, or performance issues, and the employer's response to these situations. The document must strictly comply with Saudi Labor Law, particularly Articles 65-66 which outline permissible disciplinary actions and procedural requirements. This letter typically follows internal investigations or documented incidents and may be preceded by verbal warnings depending on the severity of the issue. A properly prepared Disciplinary Action Letter is essential for maintaining workplace discipline while protecting the legal rights of both employers and employees under Saudi jurisdiction. It can be used as evidence in labor disputes and demonstrates the employer's commitment to fair and transparent disciplinary procedures.
