Jeddah: Workers’ permission is no longer required to change the names of eight posts, including Labor (AMIL). The condition was waived by the Saudi Ministry of Manpower ‘Qiva’ platform. The employer can now transfer the posts of Doctor, Specialist, Engineer, Technician, Specialist, Control Technician, Worker and General Worker to another post.
Fees for change of posts of worker and ordinary worker have also been waived. According to local newspapers, the process of rectifying the posts on the ‘Quiva’ platform has started without any payment. Employers can transfer employees in their ‘worker’ and ‘regular worker’ positions to one of 67 posts.
Of the above eight occupations, foreign workers will no longer be allowed to be recruited. When recruiting workers, an accurate description of the posts to which they belong should be given.
