DETERMINANTS OF LAWSUITS RELATED TO THE FINANCIAL RIGHTS OF HEALTH PRACTITIONERS A RETROSPECTIVE COHORT STUDY IN THE ASEER REGION

Abstract

Background
 The employee’s sense of entitlement to the allowance despite the absence of a legal document; thinking about obtaining the financial allowance through the judiciary; lack of confidence in the financial and human resources staff at their workplace, low salaries, work pressure, and distinction from others; delay in promotions, courses, and development programs; ignoring the responsible person for responding to employees feeling injustice; and hearing unpleasant news and views from their society. Employees receive additional benefits, bonuses, or gratuities. The study uses data from court records of financial rights-related lawsuits filed by health practitioners in the Aseer Region over one year. The study identifies and analyzes the demographic and professional characteristics of the health practitioners involved in these lawsuits and the factors associated with the lawsuits, such as the type of health facility, the nature of the dispute, and the amount of money involved.
 
 Method
 The Aseer Health Research Ethics Committee approved this one-year retrospective cohort study under REC-19-11-2022. After the official request, the law department provided one year of data for all lawsuits in the Aseer health record. This study focused on litigation numbers, percentages, and types. All variables and data sources were changed to eliminate survey bias. We studied all financial rights lawsuits in the year we grouped. The statistical analysis employed frequency and percentage for all study variables. All correlated variables were subjected to bivariate analyses.
 
 Result
 In one year, there were 2,782 cases, 1,552 of which were infection risk and harm allowance (55.8%), 472 were normal exchange allowance (17%), and 7% were employee complaints. 2018 national issues involve total lawsuits yearly bonus 4%, roughly 2.2% to 3.5% request change or cancellation.
 
 Conclusion
 Overall, the research findings highlight the importance of creating safe and fair work environments, offering appropriate compensation and benefits, and ensuring effective organizational communication and management practices. Failure to do so can result
