Without prejudice to the program for encouraging establishments to nationalize jobs “Nitaqat”, each employer who has nine or less employees and whose establishment does not fall under the Nitaqat program must employ at least one Saudi National. The Saudi National must be registered in the Social Insurances program and must not be included in another establishment’s nationalization percentage. The employer may be considered as an employee in the establishment if s/he is not included in another establishment’s nationalization percentage. Moreover, any of the partners in a company may be considered as an employee so long as s/he is registered with the Social Insurances program and is not included in another establishment’s nationalization percentage (Art. 1).
All Ministry services, excluding the renewal of work permits, shall be ceased for establishments that do not abide by this decision (Art. 2)
