In an effort to resolve the contest and settle it at the outset, and to reduce the burden on the judicial system, it is necessary - before resorting to the labor court to file a labor lawsuit - that a claim be filed with the labor offices to amicably settle the contest between the parties, in accordance with Council of Ministers Decision No. (117) dated: 21/2/1440 AH, provided that this decision is effective for three years starting from the commencement of the labor courts' jurisdiction, with the possibility of extending this period as necessary by a decision from the Council of Ministers, which has indeed occurred when the Council of Ministers issued its decision to extend this period.
