Protocol of 2014 to the Forced Labour Convention, 1930 - Saudi Arabia (Ratification: 2021)

The Committee notes that under section 48 of the Labour Code, which regulates the termination of training or qualification contracts, an employer may require a trainee to work for him or her upon completion of the training period for a period not to exceed twice the duration of that period or one year, whichever is longer. The Committee requests the Government to provide in its next report, information about the application of this section in practice, including information about the number of cases of trainees being required to work after completion of their training period and the actual duration of the periods of post-training work in such cases.
