«قوى»: تمكين الموظفين المتغيبين الانتقال لعمل جديد

The "Qiwa" platform, affiliated with the Ministry of Human Resources, announced the launch of a new service called "Integration into the Labor Market," which aims to enable resident employees who are absent from work to transfer their services to another employer and send a new employment contract, provided that the employee has spent 12 months in the Kingdom before the interruption of work or the end of the contractual relationship. The service includes employees whose status has changed to absent from work after the expiration of the 60-day grace period due to work interruption for those without documented contracts, as well as those whose documented contracts have expired or been terminated and whose status has changed to absent after the grace period, in addition to those who were absent from work before the launch of the work interruption initiative, including reports issued outside the "Qiwa" platform, with the exception of those absent due to a final exit visa.

The platform confirmed that the service is ongoing and not temporary, as it allows the employee to re-contract with another employer whenever they meet the conditions.

Regarding the financial fee and the mechanism for its calculation, "Qiwa" revealed that the financial fee will be charged to the previous employer if the employee's status is active in the establishment, while it will be charged to the new employer if the employee's status is absent from work. It will also be charged to the new employer if the employee is registered with a non-existent establishment or one under process.
