It incorporates recent updates to Saudi Labor Law, including the mandatory 10-week maternity leave period, nursing hours provisions, and anti-discrimination protections. The document provides essential guidance for implementing maternity leave procedures, maintaining benefits during leave periods, and managing the return-to-work process, all within the context of fixed-term employment contracts.
