Employees can en-cash 180 days leave during service

Employees can en-cash 180 days leave during service Minister of Finance, Dr Nayef al-Hajraf will soon issue a decision that will allow the employees to encash 180 days of annual leave in accordance with the comprehensive salary. MP Khalil Al-Saleh in a statement to the Parliament media office said that he coordinated with the Minister of Finance and reached a positive agreement to amend the Civil Service Law to address this issue and give the employees the right to cash the leave.
