The Saudization rate is not determined solely by the number of Saudi employees. The calculation and applicable requirements vary based on the Nitaqat program, economic activity, establishment size, and targeted occupations. The Ministry of Human Resources explains that Saudization under the developed Nitaqat program is calculated according to specific formulas and rules, including employee weighting and periodic classification updates.
The required rate is determined based on the business activity and applicable decisions covering targeted occupations or sectors.
The number of employees in an establishment can affect its Saudization requirements and Nitaqat classification.
Certain occupations may be subject to specific Saudization rates in addition to the establishment’s overall requirements, making it important to review the requirements applicable to each activity and occupation.
Failure to meet Saudization requirements may affect an establishment’s ability to access certain government services and employment-related processes. For example, obtaining a Saudization certificate through Qiwa requires meeting the applicable minimum Nitaqat rates and complying with Saudization rates for occupations applicable to the establishment.
Your establishment’s Nitaqat classification can affect certain labor market services and processes, including services related to visas and hiring.
Some projects and tenders require a Saudization certificate, which is issued once the specified requirements are met through Qiwa.
Failure to meet applicable requirements may result in restrictions or regulatory measures that affect business operations, depending on the nature of the non-compliance and the applicable regulations.
