Free Hospital Housing
As an International employee of the King Faisal Specialist Hospital & Research Centre, you are entitled to receive either free Hospital housing or a housing allowance (some restrictions apply).

Potentially Tax-Free Salary
In keeping with Saudi Law, no income taxes are collected by the Saudi Arabian government. This means that your paycheque comes to you and you keep every riyal you earn!!! (US$ 1 = Saudi Riyal 3.75) Imagine receiving a paycheck with no deductions for income taxes!!!
Whether your salary will be free of taxes from your own country depends upon your home country's taxation laws. The majority of expatriates working within the Kingdom are enjoying tax-free status.
If you do qualify to be tax-free from your home country, this is the equivalent of receiving a pay raise equal to your income tax rate, possibly as much as a 40% increase automatically! And that is not even considering the competitive salaries offered by the King Faisal Specialist Hospital & Research Centre and other moneysaving benefits such as free housing.
Service Bonuses
The King Faisal Specialist Hospital & Research Centre recognizes the contributions of its staff and the benefits associated with stability in the workforce. For this reason, we offer generous service bonuses equal to one month's salary upon completion of each contract year, beginning after the second contract year.

This is a one-time payment made upon your final departure from the Hospital and is accrued throughout your tenure within the Hospital. Severance pay accrues at a rate of 15 days pay for each of your first four years and 30 days pay for the fifth and subsequent years
