Hire date and Salary
I did once read somewhere that the day you fly from your home country is the Hire Date for Saudi Aramco.
This is from the exchange rate protection scheme.......for Australian and New Zealand passport holders.
Q10. What will be the exchange rate used? The Protected exchange rate will be based on 90% of the exchange rate on the first day of the month in which the employee was hired, regardless of the actual hire date within that month. Likewise, the current exchange rate will be based on the exchange rate on the first day of the current month.
Now, reading this again confuses me..........it seems kind of contradictory....
I sped up my departure date (May 31)thinking that the May 1st rate would be used.....which was 6.09
I will do orientation on June 3rd.
Now the rate is 5.92 much lower......
Does anyone know the facts?
Thanks

Your hire date is the day you left your home country to travel directly to Saudi Arabia

Your hire date is the day you step on the plane to leave for Saudi Arabia.
If you left on May 31st, the hire date will be May 31st, the currency protection rate will be the rate for May 2012 (1st of May) so you should be getting that 6.09 rate.

I don't see any contradiction here. The protected rate is set on the first day of the month you were hired and the current exchange rate (which is the one they compare it to, to see if the currency protection mechanism should be triggered) is based on the first day of the current month.
So to me, that means that if your protected rate is set at 6.09, in any month were the exchange rate is below 5.48 (90% of 6.09) on the first day of that month, you will get your protected rate instead.
