Umm Al-Qura newspaper has published the Cabinet's decision regarding compensation for the boards of directors of government institutions, authorities, and agencies that are not subject to the regulations for board and committee member compensation issued under Cabinet Decision No. 135 for 1445 AH.

According to the official gazette, the decision—published today—sets the compensation at 2,000 riyals (SAR) per meeting, with a maximum of 30,000 riyals per year for each member. Non-employee members traveling from outside the meeting city will receive 1,500 riyals and a first-class airline ticket from their city to the meeting location and back. Employees will be compensated according to the regulations and policies applicable to them.

The newspaper noted that this compensation does not apply to the boards of government institutions, authorities, and agencies excluded by Cabinet Decision No. 363 for 1436 AH, nor to those institutions and entities specifically exempted by previous or current compensation regulations for board and committee members, including those issued under Decision No. 135 for 1445 AH.

The compensation also does not apply to institutions that have a specific provision subjecting them to previous or current regulations for board and committee member compensation, including those issued under Cabinet Decision No. 135 for 1445 AH, or to those where such regulations are already applied.
