You can carry over 10 days of annual leave. Remote working days do not carry over.
Typically you can take your annual leave whenever you like. It just needs to be approved by your line manager.

I haven't run into this one, I imagine that you can but it would require some discussion about length and reason.
There are some leaves for life events as well.

I believe it is covered in the benefits, if not, you can ask your onboarder or HR rep. But you get some time for the normal things like bereavement, maternity/paternity, etc

Can someone please provide insight on the recruitment assessment?!?

I know this is likely too late for you but I was looking for some info on this prior to my assessment too and while I would assume they are different depending on the position, in my case the assessment consisted of 4 different parts.
1. Personality Assessment - where one has to video record themselves answering a set of questions.
2 & 3. Behavioural self-assessments DISC & leadership.
4. Aptitude assessment that is reminiscent of an IQ test

re: NEOM Job Thread - for all questions about jobs/working at NEOM

I am looking at opportunities in Neom and wondering if someone could give pointers on the agents to approach or the recruitment companies. Neom website is good but it seems certain jobs are given to the specialist headhunters and if a CV is on their record, there may be a chance of an interview. Thanks

NEOM Potential Job

Hi - it's based on your previous salary rather than title or experience. And per PIF guidelines, there is a cap as to how much above your current salary that can be offered unless you get an exemption - which requires board approval - and that is likely reserved for the top management roles. It should be noted that you cannot automatically expect a 20-30% uplift on your current salary, it really depends on the budget of the department.

Previously, I did let HR in NEOM know that this was coming and it was only reasonable to revise my offer based on my new salary, to which they declined. Now that I have a written confirmation from the company and because the pay rise is in the same year as I am joining NEOM, I plan to push back on it and get a revised offer. Has anyone anyone had the experience of changing job offer in this way?

It does make quite a substantial difference to my pay per month. I have been offered a grade 5 job.

Regards,

Hello Fezk
I'm interested to know more about Enowa as my self done an interview with them a couple of days ago , Did you join or you still in the process of joining ?

re: NEOM JOB DETAILS

Is the relocation package, 8 months of your salary?

How long should I stay there to claim it?

Relocation package is available to people moving from outside of KSA. It is a lump sum usually paid in your first check.
If you don't complete your first year, you owe the company a prorated amount back.

Hello Everyone

the normal practice in KSA is that your employer will sign one year contract and it will be renew automatically if both party agreed to continue
