Labour Disputes
If any Indian national faces any dispute with his sponsor regarding
non-payment of wages, leave, end-of-service benefits, etc., they can
contact the Community Welfare Wing to sort out their problems. The
officials of the Community Welfare Wing try to sort out their problems by
correspondence and through discussions with the sponsor for an amicable
settlement. If no agreement or settlement is reached through discussions
with sponsor, the matter is taken up through the Ministry of Foreign
Affairs. Even after that, if the matter remains unresolved, the Indian
nationals have to file the case with the Labour Court concerned. Community
Welfare Wing provides free Interpreter service for cases at Riyadh Labour
Court and, under special and deserving circumstances, in far-flung areas.
It is always good for all Indian nationals to keep the copy of their
contract with them to safeguard their interest.
