Your benefits

Saudi Aramco Incentive Plan

This is a broad-based annual and performance-based incentive plan based on company and individual performance, base salary, and length of service during the plan year. The objective of this plan is to drive organizational performance, as well as, recognize and reward your contributions beyond the normal annual merit increases. 

Annual repatriation travel allowance

An annual cash payment that more than covers airfare costs to your home country. You have full flexibility to use this payment in any way you choose.

Annual vacation

You can look forward to up to 38 calendar days of annual paid leave. In addition, you’ll typically be granted between 9 and 11 days of national public holidays each year.

Severance award

In accordance with the Saudi labor law, a severance award is payable by the company to employees who leave after two years or more of satisfactory service. The severance award is based on length of continuous service and final base pay. The severance award can be a substantial benefit for longer service employees.

Education Assistance Plan

If you are hired on family status, you may be eligible to benefit from the company’s excellent education assistance plan for dependent children. This may include the option for them to attend Saudi Aramco’s high-quality private schools, international schools in the local community, or international boarding schools anywhere in the world.

Quality housing in company communities or a rental assistance allowance

We have four communities in the Eastern Province where we provide quality accommodation in pleasant surroundings. Alternatively, employees may obtain housing in the local communities outside of the Saudi Aramco communities, for which we provide a rental assistance allowance.

Free medical care

We provide medical care via our Johns Hopkins Aramco Healthcare subsidiary medical network or contracted hospitals and clinics. These facilities are among the finest in the Middle East.

Free access to recreational facilities

You will have access to our extensive range of recreational facilities that include: private beaches, tennis courts, exercise gyms, swimming pools, golf courses, tennis and squash courts, and much more.

Free scheduled transportation

Air-conditioned buses are provided free of charge for transportation within camp areas, to work locations, local shopping areas outside camp, the beach and our other communities.

Voluntary Group Life and Accident Insurance

You may enroll in a voluntary program providing term life insurance and accidental death and dismemberment (AD&D) coverage equal to 12, 18, 24 or 30 times your monthly base salary. Favorable group rates keep the premium low.

Short-term Disability

In the event you are unable to work due to illness or injury, short-term disability income benefits are provided. The benefit is 30 days full pay and 60 days at three-quarters pay, in any one-year period.

Death Benefit

Saudi Aramco pays an ex-gratia death benefit equal to 24 months base pay if death is from an industrial accident and 12 months base pay if death is non-industrial related.
