What your unused annual leave is worth on exit — paid on your full wage.
How leave encashment works (Articles 109 & 111)
You accrue 21 days of paid annual leave a year, rising to 30 days a year once you pass five continuous years with the employer. Any leave you don't take is paid out when you leave — Article 111 makes unused-leave encashment a mandatory part of every final settlement.
Unlike the UAE, Saudi encashment uses your full wage at termination, not basic only. Your daily rate is the monthly wage divided by 30, multiplied by your unused days. So on SAR 12,000 with 20 unused days: SAR 400 a day × 20 = SAR 8,000.
This sits alongside your end-of-service award in the settlement.
