What Is Saudi Arabia’s wage protection plan and how does it help expats secure their pay

Saudi Arabia introduced the Expatriate Worker Wage Insurance in late 2024, ensuring wage protection and repatriation for expats. This initiative, capped at SAR 17,500, is complemented by the Musaned platform for domestic workers and 2025 labor-law enhancements promoting wage transparency. While praised, concerns remain about eligibility thresholds and administrative hurdles, requiring further refinement for broader worker empowerment.
