In addition, the approved language in the state is the Arabic language. In addition, in case the worker does not receive the employment contract, he shall resort to the ministry of labour.

If the employment contract has not been issued from the ministry, can I prove my service with employer or not?
Evidence shall be conducted by the legal evidence means … for example: internal contract concluded between the two parties, appointment letter, payment statement or book of attendance and going out of the work... etc., if the worker has one of them.
