In late 2024, Saudi Arabia introduced the Expatriate Worker Wage Insurance, guaranteeing wage security and repatriation for expats. The initiative covers unpaid wages up to SAR 17,500 with additional benefits for firms where most workers go unpaid. Complemented by the Musaned platform and 2025 labor-law improvements promoting transparency. While receiving praise, concerns linger over eligibility criteria and bureaucratic challenges, emphasizing the need for further enhancement to empower more workers. The program aligns with broader labor market transformations aiming to ensure timely wage payments, utilize digital solutions like Musaned for domestic workers, and enforce enhanced wage transparency through updated laws.
