News 24 | Court forces hospital to pay 300,000 riyals to Saudi doctor who was fired after 6 months of contract with him

A labor court forced a private hospital to pay 300,000 riyals in compensation to a Saudi doctor. The hospital dismissed him after 6 months of contract with him, on the basis of Article 77 of the Labor Law.

The details, according to “Okaz”, indicate that a consultant filed a complaint in which he said that the medical establishment in which he worked terminated the contract with him after 6 months of work without cause, which caused him damages that led him to demand his financial contributions.

In his lawsuit, the doctor stated that he received a salary of 44,000 riyals, and he proved this through the bank account and previous human resources identification certificates to prove the employment contract with the establishment which was absent, and did not send a representative. .

The court considered the owner of the establishment to be negligent for not taking the oath and asked the doctor to take an oath on the validity of his request to do so, and the session ended because the defendant’s oath is considered as full evidence with the applicant’s oath.

The court rendered its decision obliging the establishment to pay the doctor financial contributions for housing allowance and late wages, and required him to provide him with a certificate of service for the duration of his work.
