Saudi businesses say expat fee is 'draconian'
- Saudi Arabia: Sunday, November 25 - 2012 at 02:17
The Jeddah Chamber of Commerce and Industry has said that government measures to ensure business owners hire more Saudis are too tough and often arbitrary, Saudi Gazette has reported. The head of the chamber's commercial committee said the rule that stipulates SR2,400 fine for each foreign employee working in establishments that failed to achieve Saudization targets was "draconian" and "completely unacceptable." "This decision has left us with no choice. Either we accept it or we leave the market. But nothing is encouraging us to remain in the market," Taher said. Meanwhile, Hattab Al-Enezi, spokesman for the labour ministry said the ministry will not backtrack on enforcing the cabinet decision, which came into effect on November 15.
