Monthly and Yearly Ajir Contracts: Renew or Close Safely

Manage Ajir contract review dates, replacement approvals, extension checks and final site handover for Jeddah manpower assignments.

Warehouse supervisors discussing a shift handover beside a closed dock — workforce planning scene.

Set separate commercial and authorization review dates

Maintain the commercial end date, platform authorization end date and site-access expiry as separate controls. Set review reminders early enough for the responsible parties to decide whether the work continues and whether a lawful transaction is available.

A continuing need does not keep an expired authorization valid. Confirm the correct renewal, new transaction, return or other applicable action on the official platform before affected work continues. Avoid copying an old permit image into a new-month attendance pack as evidence of validity.

Close the service with a documented handover

Reconcile accepted work, ordinary hours, approved overtime, incidents and outstanding commercial issues. Return equipment and access cards, revoke site permissions and record the worker’s next lawful reporting arrangement. Handle final employment duties through the responsible employer.

If a replacement is needed before closure, assess the person, task and site independently. The outgoing worker’s authorization does not automatically cover the replacement. Retain a concise closure record with the service owner, dates, final access status and unresolved items.

Ajir contracts: select the actual Ajeer service

Ajir, Ajeer and أجير are common ways of referring to the Saudi Ajeer platform. The official service directory distinguishes Ajeer Contracting, which regulates the presence of an outsourcing establishment’s employees at a beneficiary worksite, from Ajeer Secondment, which lends an employee’s services to another establishment for a defined period. The correct service depends on the actual arrangement and current eligibility.

HRSD’s outsourcing rules announcement of 6 November 2025 describes specified tasks performed by expatriate workers already residing in Saudi Arabia under the direct supervision of the service-providing establishment through Ajeer. A commercial manpower agreement does not by itself establish worker authorization. Confirm the selected service and approved record before work begins.

Monthly invoicing and a yearly service agreement are commercial planning choices. Neither proves that a permit can run for that whole period. Check the current service-specific limits, eligible activities, parties and worker conditions on the official platform. Do not treat temporary work authorization as a permanent employee transfer.

From employer request to authorized site work

First define the service outputs, legal beneficiary establishment, exact site, tasks, roles, quantities by shift, operating calendar and intended assignment window. Name the employer decision-maker and the provider supervisor. Separate service delivery from candidate recruitment: selecting someone for a role does not authorize an assignment.

The responsible establishments then check the relevant Ajeer service and current eligibility through their authorized access. Prepare the commercial scope, underlying employment responsibilities and required platform records; follow the current official workflow for acceptance and permit issuance where applicable. Use the actual transaction status rather than assuming that a quotation, signed purchase order or payment confirms permission.

Before the first shift, reconcile the named worker, provider, beneficiary, occupation, location and dates with the approved record. Complete competence checks, induction and access clearance. During delivery, retain proportionate attendance, supervision and change records. Review replacements, extensions and closure through the applicable process before continuing affected work.

Why discuss the requirement with AL AHAD GROUP

Use AL AHAD GROUP’s employer enquiry route to put the requirement into a clear business brief. The useful starting point is the actual work: tasks, role quantities, worksite, shifts, duration and responsibilities. The linked workforce and hiring guides help organize that information before a commercial or recruitment response is discussed.

Assess the response against your approved scope and the documents for the actual contracting parties. Ask who is responsible for supervision, lawful authorization, wages, timekeeping, worker support, access and changes. Confirm capability, availability, rates and start conditions in writing for this requirement; the website is not evidence of a government approval or a ready-to-deploy worker pool.

The official Ajeer directory and HRSD announcement support the service distinctions and outsourcing framework explained here. The operating checklists, example briefs and commercial comparisons are planning recommendations, not quotations of government requirements. Recheck the current conditions for the selected service before making a transaction. No government fee, processing time, approval or worker availability is promised.

Employer questions

Questions about Monthly and Yearly Ajir Contracts: Renew or Close Safely

Does a yearly commercial agreement guarantee a yearly Ajeer permit?

No. The valid period and eligibility depend on the current selected Ajeer service and approved record, separately from commercial duration.

What should an employer include in the request?

Provide the legal company contact, defined tasks, exact site, role quantities, shifts, proposed term, responsibility split and decision-maker. Confirm actual capability and authorization before work.
