The Saudi Arabian Ministry of Interior has issued a stern warning to individual employers who permit their workers to perform duties for other entities or for their own personal gain. Employers found committing this violation will face penalties that include a maximum fine of SR100,000, a jail term of up to six months, and a recruitment ban lasting up to five years.

To ensure compliance, the ministry has directed both employers and workers to strictly follow all established labor, residency, and border security guidelines. Members of the public are encouraged to report any infractions. Reports can be filed by dialing 911 for those located in the Riyadh, Makkah, Madinah, and Eastern Province regions, or by calling 999 for individuals in all other areas of the Kingdom.
