What is Huroob?

Huroob is Arabic word which means escape or absconder or run away (Absent from Work).
As per Saudi Labor Law, employer has to report to passport authorities, If his employee (Saudi Expatriate) is absent from work for a special period of time to declare him as Huroob (Absconder or Escape or Run Away).

When this happens, the Expatriate employee is considered a criminal and can be arrested and jailed and then deported. Any Expatriate who gets reported as Huroob Iqama/Muqeem ID will be cancelled, illegal for him to stay in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, benefits and rights of legal employee will be cancelled, leave the Kingdom through deportation, 5 years ban from entering into the Kingdom.

If the employer failed to report the absence of employee, He (Sponsor or Employer) will be finalized as it is mandatory in Saudi Labor Law. The punishment to sponsor for non reporting about runaway employee is 5000SR for first time, 10,000 for second time and 15,000 for third time including one month imprisonment.


Runaway employee shall be deported at employer's expenses or if he was working for his own he shall be deported on his own expenses. Sometimes employers my misused Huroob provision, if an employee is going to approach against employer in labor court for any causes like mistreatment, non payment of salary or any other cases.

According to Saudi Labor Law, "An employer may not terminate the employee contract without an award, advance notice or indemnity except in a few cases, and provided that he gives the worker a chance to state his reasons for objecting the termination".
