Hello everyone,
You must have heard about the changes happening in the labor market in Saudi. i am posting here after I have read some details. below is stated considering that you already know about Mudad and Qiwa. If you haven't, then i recommend you google it as all the information below is related to these two systems.
1) Starting with Qiwa, every employee will require to register (just like Absher). The website for registration is www. qiwa. sa/en/
2) employer will first upload current contracts of all employees in Mudad portal
3) Employer shall also meet other terms like 80% performance in wage protection system for the last 3 months
Profile can be created using your current Resident permit and your details will reflect automatically in system. once done, your employment status in the system will be displayed as "unemployed". Perhaps, its because contract is not uploaded yet (it is unclear)
Once all the above steps are complete only then employees will be able to use the new features of exit re-entry etc.
if someone has any information pls let us know.
WILL THE REQUEST FOR IQAMA TRANSFER BE NOTIFIED TO OLD EMPLOYER?

Yes.
And you need to complete your agreement.
And the new system is not implemented yet.
BUT CONTRACTS ARE UPLOADED TO MUDAD PORTAL FORM MARCH 14.

not all contracts, many companies i know are still uploading

Yes, but they will end according to your previous entry to the Kingdom.
For example if you entered KSA in January 2020 and your contract is of 2 years then it will end in January 2022.

Pls share something supporting about contracts being linked with the previous entry in the kingdom?

You will see.
My contract is uploaded, and it is going to end in november.
And it is as was in the past.
And this is the same for all 1000 plus employees of my company.
Company HR can put any date because in the old system the contracts were unlimited and companies were counting the time of any employee on the basis of exit and re entry.
Have you ever seen a guy who came back from holidays and then go back to holidays without completing one or two years????????
You all will see.
Do not get hopes for something special.

i am looking forward for you to refer something from the new/old rules, an article # or section # that supports your statement of linking the contracts with entry.

Can you give me something in your claim and denial?
I just said that your contract will be started as per your old record not from 14th of March this year.
Make your account on gosi.
There will be a starting date of your current job.
That date must be your first day at job or your re-entry date.

System error.
Do not worry.
I already resign but when i check my qiwa it showed i am still employed .. is there any chance to change it or no?
waseem92909 wrote:My Qiwa portal status showing unemployed why what is reason
Hello,
the reason behind this is that your employer hasn't uploaded your contract yet. check with your hr team. if you have received SMS about your contract, then click on the link and accept. Once your employer completes uploading, the status will be updated.
Hai

You need permission from your current employer.
Ask him to accept the request.

Then ask the second party to check if you are showing in the company absher.
jijithmp wrote:In qiwa portal my status is showing still employed.
Yes, it can be.
Because you are transferring to another company.
It will show unemployed when your contract is terminated/finished and you have left the company.
Is this might be a reason jeddah company telling its not showing in their system. I accepted the request and my Hr told he already done transfer by dated 8th april.

Wait for couple of days.
My be the system problem.
Otherwise they didn't accepted the request.

Yes you can but you need permission from your current employer.

May be there is some issue with the new company.
If that company status is in yellow or red then your problem is because of that.
Check their status.
And if that new company status is in green then the problem is with the current company.

It's his problem.
Ask him to solve it. May be he is not registered on Mudad website.
Or may be his company hasn't paid some government taxes/bills and may be that's the reason for this problem.
But it's not your responsibility.

Your current employer is playing with you.
Ask him to show you the transfer application if it is done.
