Hi,

I'm currently working in a manpower company and have completed 2 years service. Now i have received an offer from another company and when i wished to change my sposnorship through the new kafaala rule my current sponsor doesn't allow me.

They say that the new saudi labor law is not applicable for manpower companies.

Please clarify a) if the new labor law is not applicable for such manpower companies
                        b) what is the alternative way of changing sponsorship in such cases

The new system is same as old but on a digital platform with some changes and updates.
Your visa is a company sponsored visa, he will not release you locally.
You can transfer locally only if the below 8 conditions are met or else come back on new visa if your new employer is providing it.

3- Absence of the employer because of travel, imprisonment, death or any other reasons

4- Expiry of worker’s work permit or residency permit (iqama)

5- Worker’s lodging of complaint about involvement of employer in commercial cover-up (tasattur) provided that the worker is not involved in tasattur.

6- Worker has proof that employer is involved in trafficking in persons.

7- Labor dispute between worker and current employer, and the employer or his representative failed to attend two sessions of litigation despite being notified of the hearing dates or not attending two sessions for amicable settlement of disputes

To move head up and down means agree

If any clause is written in the contract that employer will provide the transfer in case employee is interested to change the sponsorship? This clause will help to get the transfer?
