Moving to a new job ‘mid-contract'

Hello , it is totally understandable but you are bound with the contract you signed here. Check qiwa for your digital contract and check for probation period and if both parties are allowed to cancel contract within probation (highly unlikely). The 2 month salary penalty (or more) is to help the employer recuperate his costs on iqama / work permit / employment and transport costs usually, which is the only other way out.

@Nauf11 thank you for your help

@Nauf11

You may not know the answer but thought i would ask just in case. if my employer hasn’t put my contract on QIWA does that effect my initial question?

thank you for any help - really appreciated

Well in that case the "written contract" supersedes any other agreement between two parties is whats usually agreed upon. You can check gosi if atleast the contract is uploaded there. Also i dont see how you can transfer jobs without qiwa while being in a contract , you would have to exit and then come back all over again which is a pain.

Thank you so much for your help really appreciated! according to gosi it says iv been employed for just over a month, which isn’t the case at all. It’s a bit of minefield! Thanks once again for your help.
