Saudi Arabia: New law for employees transferred to Seha Holding, big relief on salary and bonus

A major change has come for thousands of employees working in Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Health (MOH). Now these employees will come under Seha Holding (HHC), due to which their job rules and pension system will completely change. The government has made it clear that now the contracts of these employees will be decided according to the labor law and social insurance system.

The purpose of this change is to improve health services under Vision 2030. Under this, employees are being sent to health clusters. The second phase of this process has started from June 25, 2026. This includes workers from areas such as al-Ahsa, Taif, Najran, Hail, Tabuk, Northern Borders and Hafr al-Batin.

Main information related to transfer

The government has made some special rules keeping in mind the interests of the employees. According to the cabinet decision, the salary of any employee will not be reduced after transfer. Also, to ease this transition, up to 4 months of salary will be given to the employees as bonus.

Now the role of General Organization for Social Insurance (GOSI) will be important in the matter of pension and insurance. The previous service of the employees will be linked with the new system. Apart from this, under the new labor law that came into effect from February 2025, contracts verified on Qiwa will now get legal recognition, which will reduce disputes.

In this complete change, the Ministry of Health (MOH) will now only work on making rules and monitoring, while Seha Holding will look after the management of employees and handling health services.
