Are they asking you to resign or they are terminating. Some companies push employees to resign as it helps them save some money from end of service benefits.

You may use this calculator: Online EoS Calculator. Try both options (resigning and terminating) and see yourself how money is saved by letting an employee resign.

About your other questions, I suggest you have a look at various sections of the website: https://www.laboreducation.gov.sa/en/

It's a government website and it's better to know straight from the horse's mouth.

bottom line, nothing you can do. although I see you're indian u should ask them to move you back to india where they are relocating anyway.

Based on what I know of the labor law, they can't push you to resign. In order to terminate you, they have to issue you a termination letter with 30 paid days notice; or at least the pay of 30 days. Of course, he is the employer and can terminate any employees as he likes but legal formalities have to be fulfilled.

As the first thing, check out your contract. All of this must be written in there. You can take a copy and open discussions with the HR Manager.

If you are being terminated, do the following:

1.) Keep the copy in writing that you are being terminated.
2.) You need to be paid a salary of a minimum of 4 months OR till the end of contract, whichever is later.
3.) You need to collect all your dues before leaving for exit. (Incase, you do not get a transfer).
4.) The employer will pay you for one way fare to your home city.

Depending on your terms and the prevailing conditions, you can ask for a release and look for work outside.

Hope it helps. All the best.
