Read Next: Update: Saudization In Shopping Malls Will Create 51000 Jobs For Saudis<\/a><\/h3>\nThe Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development has issued the procedural guide for the decision to implement Saudization in shopping malls across the Kingdom.<\/p>\n
The new decision will come into force on August 4<\/h2>\n
The announcement clarified the decision to Saudize most jobs in shopping malls with the aim to create 51,000 additional jobs for Saudis.<\/p>\n
The first decision is to allot 100 percent of jobs to Saudis in all activities and professions in malls as well as at mall management offices, excluding a limited number of activities and professions. The exempted activities and professions include cafes and restaurants where the rate of Saudization shall be 50 percent and 40 percent respectively.<\/p>\n
Hypermarkets and supermarkets are also exempted<\/h2>\n
Other professions that are excluded from 100 percent Saudization are cleaning work, loading and unloading, maintenance of recreational facilities, and barbershops.<\/p>\n
The ministry said that punitive measures will be taken against the violators after the end of the grace period. There will be penalties for two types of violations: hiring non-Saudis in professions restricted for Saudis and penalty for the failure to implement the percentage of Saudization.<\/p>\n
