Public sector unpaid leave rules eased
The Council of Ministers has approved amendments to the Public Sector Human Resources Management System for 2026, aimed at regulating and simplifying the procedures for unpaid leave for employees. The amendments include reducing the required period of service to qualify for leave from 5 years to 3 actual years, and eliminating the condition that employees must return during the last five years to be eligible for a pension. This provides greater flexibility for employees working abroad and for study purposes, which have been unified under a five-year period both inside and outside the Kingdom. Additionally, employees are now free to participate in social insurance during their leave. It has also been made mandatory for employees to communicate with their employer at least a year before their return to ensure proper human resource planning and maintain the continuity of government services, with the overall goal of improving vacancy management and avoiding job gaps.
