Saudi Airline Ordered to Pay $187,000 to Moroccan Flight Attendant in Labor Dispute

According to the Saudi newspaper, Okad, these indemnities represent "the arrears of salaries and remuneration, the end-of-service bonuses, and the balances of annual leave".

The company has also been forced to issue a certificate of employment for the four years of service.

The flight attendant had filed a complaint with the Labor Court, supporting her request with a current employment contract and a claim for professional compensation.

Notified of the date of the trial by electronic means, the company repeatedly refused to appear in court.

Given the "damages caused to the employee", the judgment was handed down by default, the Saudi court considering that the plaintiff had "left her job for non-payment of her salaries, and that, in accordance with labor legislation, she deserves an end-of-service bonus".
