Saudi Workforce Assignment Permit

The Saudization Assignment Permit Service is an online feature for establishments on Ajeer platform to issue official permits assigning Saudi employees temporarily to other establishments for operational support, maintaining primary affiliation without sponsorship transfer.

It is used when a provider has surplus Saudis to loan to beneficiaries needing Saudization compliance or peak coverage, within monthly bundle limits. The process starts with provider login, creating assignment request with beneficiary details, period (1-6 months), sites, and Saudi count, then sending for approval. Post-acceptance, Saudis add via ID search within bundle (free: 10/month; premium: unlimited), with nominal fees.

The permit issues immediately, printable, allowing Saudis to work at beneficiary site without violations, supporting beneficiary Saudization while preserving provider Nitaqat, with repeated assignments possible.
