Part-Time Employment Contract Template: A Ready Form Certified by a Licensed Saudi Lawyer

What this contract is and when you need it

A part-time employment contract is a full employment contract, but one built on a commitment to fewer hours than a standard working week. What separates it from a full-time contract is not its nature but the definition of specific hours, a known schedule, and a wage tied to both. Any business that engages an employee for set days, evening shifts, or peak seasons needs it, and wants a documented relationship instead of an unwritten arrangement that will not survive a claim.

• An employee working set days or limited weekly hours in a shop, clinic, or office.
• Hiring on an hourly wage with a need to govern work outside the schedule.
• Converting an existing unwritten arrangement into a contract you can rely on and authenticate.

What the smart-fill asks and what you receive

The smart-fill starts with the parties: the employer's legal name, CR number, National Address, and the name and capacity of its representative, then the employee's full name, nationality, ID or iqama number, address, mobile, email, and IBAN for paying the wage. It then asks for the term type, fixed or indefinite, the term in months, the start and end dates in both the Hijri and Gregorian calendars, and the probation period in days.

• The working hours with a choice of unit: hours per day or per week.
• The days and time windows of the schedule, the job title, and the work location or whether it is remote.
• The wage with a choice of unit, per hour or per month, and the overtime basis: the same hourly rate or the statutory basis.
• The notice period for informing the employer of any change in legal status, and the days allowed to regularise the status after permits lapse.

Within minutes you receive a formatted bilingual Word document, ready to sign and editable before approval, so you move from a verbal arrangement to a contract that states the hours, the schedule, and the wage and its unit expressly, and that you can rely on when documenting the relationship on the Qiwa platform.

Why a lawyer-certified template beats a free download

Most free templates are full-time contracts with a line deleted and the word "part-time" added, so they keep clauses that do not suit part-time work and lose the ones you actually need: the wage unit, the overtime basis, and the link between the commitment and a known schedule. The Sighaty template is certified by a licensed Saudi lawyer, drafted from the start for this way of working, and updated as the regulations change, so you do not discover the gap on the day of a claim.
