Abstract

The study aimed to clarify the legal regulation of the volunteer employment contract in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, through the Saudi volunteer work law and its executive regulations. To achieve this goal, the research was divided into an introduction and three sections: The introduction dealt with the concept of volunteer work, while the first section was devoted to explaining the concept of the volunteer work contract. The second section dealt with the effects of the volunteer work contract, and finally, the third section dealt with the termination of the volunteer work contract. The researcher used the descriptive and analytical approach as well as the comparative approach. The study concluded with many results including that the essence of volunteer work is to achieve public benefit without compensation, and that if the work or effort is in exchange for a financial reward, then it does not have the status of volunteer work. The results also showed that the expiration of a volunteer work contract is subject to the general causes of expiration and dissolution of contracts in general. In addition to being subject to special reasons related to it due to its characteristics. As for the recommendations, the study recommended several recommendations, the most prominent of which is: that volunteer work in the Saudi system be within the framework of a written contract between the volunteer or volunteer team and the beneficiary.
