General AI reliably gets this wrong by porting UAE rules into KSA: the UAE abolished resignation reductions and uses basic-only wage; Saudi kept the ladder and uses the actual wage including allowances.","inputSchema":{"type":"object","properties":{"reason":{"description":"How is employment ending?

Dismissal for misconduct under Art. 80 pays zero — though courts apply Art. 80 strictly, and a misapplied one converts to unlawful dismissal with full EOSB plus compensation.","Wage base: the actual wage — basic plus housing, transport, and other fixed allowances — not basic-only (that is the UAE rule, a common confusion). Under Art. 86 the contract may exclude fluctuating commissions/percentages from the award base; where commissions count, the last-12-months average of the fluctuating part is the practice.","Decree M/44 (effective 19 Feb 2025) changed resignation procedure (Qiwa filing, 30-day deemed acceptance, up to 60 days' employer postponement, 7-day withdrawal window) but not the award amounts.
