KAS Sick leave

sick leave under the KSA labor law stipulate that upon joining, employees receive an initial credit of 120 days, allocated as follows: 30 days at full pay, 60 days at 75% pay based on gross salary, and 30 days unpaid. The sick leave balance becomes active upon the employee's first sick leave day and remains valid for one year from that date. Afterward, the balance resets to 120 days, with the expiration date recalculated from the initial sick leave day, continuing in this cycle.

For example, if an employee joins on July 1, 2024, their sick leave balance should initially show 120 days: 30 days at full pay, 60 days at 75% pay, and 30 days unpaid. If the employee takes their first sick leave on October 2, 2024, the expiry date for these 120 days should be updated to October 1, 2025. On October 2, 2025, the balance should reset to 120 days again, and the expiry date for these days will once more be based on the date of the first sick leave taken.
