Abstract
The Saudi law has granted the administration numerous disciplinary powers against the public employee in the area of its disciplinary responsibility; however, in light of these disciplinary and punitive powers of the administration, the public employee must be protected from any tyranny, abuse, injustice, or bargaining that may be exercised against him by some of the administration's people. As a result, these protections shield public employees from the administration's tyranny, persecution, and arbitrariness. Thus, the purpose of this research is to uncover the disciplinary guarantees for public employees in the Saudi law, as well as their sufficiency in protecting the public employee and guaranteeing that the administration does not use them as a means of tyranny or arbitrariness. The study subject concerned the adequacy of these guarantees in the Saudi legislation, and the significance of the research lay in determining the adequacy of these guarantees in order to achieve protection for public employees. Furthermore, the researcher employed the descriptive, analytical, and comparative method, by collecting facts and data, analyzing them, and comparing them in order to elucidate the features linked to the study's issue. Finally, the study's results revealed that there are some problems in achieving guarantees of protection for the public employee from the administration's arbitrariness and tyranny in the Saudi law, and the researcher suggested some amendments to the legislation related to the disciplinary responsibility of the public employee in the Saudi law to ensure his complete protection from any abuse or tyranny by the administration.
