Administrative support professions — 100% Saudisation

Applies to every private-sector establishment in Saudi Arabia that has at least one worker in a listed occupation. The 100% rate is measured at entity level. The decision counts both the job title registered in GOSI and the work the person actually does. Phase 1 (table 2) covers 19 occupations from 5 April 2026: 264301, 541403, 541402, 441601, 441401, 432101, 422602, 422502, 422401, 413201, 413101, 412002, 334301, 333103, 264305, 264302, 241104, 121211 and 121208. Phase 2 (table 3) covers the remaining 50 occupations from 4 October 2026, after a 6-month grace period. If another decision sets a different rate for the same job, the higher rate applies. The rate applies whatever the establishment's Nitaqat band. Giving these tasks to a non-Saudi under another job title is also a violation, with penalties under decisions 75913 and 44558. This updates the earlier administrative support decision 52764 of 1443H.

All private-sector employers. The rule sets 100% Saudisation for 69 administrative support occupations, as defined in the Saudi Unified Classification of Occupations. Examples: HR development manager, workforce planning manager, HR operations manager, recruitment manager, recruitment specialist, HR operations specialist, workforce planning specialist, recruitment office manager, recruitment (istiqdam) specialist, government relations clerk, administrative assistant, receptionist, customs broker, shipping agent, shipping clerk, stock movement clerk, public relations manager, public relations expert, public relations consultant and public relations specialist.
