Saudi: Qiwa sets 60-day window before reporting worker as absent under new contract rules

RIYADH — Qiwa platform has introduced updates to the employment contract system that impact how employers can report workers as "absent from work." According to the platform, an employer can only submit such a request if the worker's residency permit (Iqama) is valid for at least 60 days and the worker has no active employment contract at the time of the request. Once a worker's status changes to "disconnected from work," they are given a 60-day window to choose one of the following options: transfer to another employer, exit the Kingdom, or re-contract with the same company. If no action is taken within this period, the worker will automatically be marked as "absent from work" and removed from the company's records. The updated system also stipulates that if the notice period in a work contract ends — whether by the employer's or worker's decision — and the contractual relationship concludes, the contract will be marked as 'terminated.' Failure by the worker to take further action within the grace period will result in an automatic notification to relevant authorities at the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development (MHRSD) and the Ministry of Interior. The Ministry previously clarified that Qiwa enables workers to obtain free salary definition certificates through the "Qiwa Individuals" account. If the worker is currently employed, the certificate will reflect current employment information. For past experience, workers can request a service certificate documenting previous roles. To access this feature, workers must log into their Qiwa Individuals account, navigate to services, select "Employment Certificates," and follow the steps to generate either a salary certificate or a certificate of service. The platform also supports enhancing CVs and increasing job competitiveness through official documentation of professional experience. © Copyright 2022 The Saudi Gazette. All Rights Reserved.

Zero-waste facades: Emirates Extrusion's green building bet

Earlier this year, Emirates Extrusion Factory (EEF), a Dubai-based aluminium extrusion company with a 30-year legacy in the UAE's construction industry, and a subsidiary of Dubai Investments, signed a partnership with UCS Green Solutions to manufacture what may well be the region's most sustainable curtainwall system. On paper, it's an industrial deal. But its implications stretch from material science to climate policy, from construction sites to government net-zero ambitions. This initiative not only reflects EEF's core values but also aligns with Dubai Investments' group-wide sustainability approach and drive, further reinforcing the strategic shift towards decarbonisation and circular innovation across the group's industrial portfolio. A game-changer for façade engineering At the heart of the new partnership is the UCS Green System, a patented, modular curtainwall solution designed to eliminate fabrication waste while boosting thermal efficiency and reducing time on site. Sreekumar Brahmanandan, General Manager and Board Director of EEF said: 'We produce extruded aluminium profiles customised for this system, which arrives at site 90 per cent pre-finished. That means no cutting, no drilling, no fabrication waste - just streamlined installation with improved thermal performance.' The benefits are as pragmatic as they are ecological. The system claims energy savings of up to 35 per cent, with improved U-values due to integrated polyamide thermal breaks, and a façade structure that is fully recyclable and compliant with green building standards like LEED, Estidama, and Dubai's own green code. Cutting costs, not corners One of the more stubborn challenges in green construction has been the so-called 'greenium' - the higher upfront cost associated with environmentally friendly solutions. But Sreekumar says this system turns that logic on its head. 'While there is an initial premium on materials, the time savings during installation at over 50 per cent more than make up for it. You also reduce labour requirements, eliminate the need for scaffolding, and save on long-term energy and maintenance costs.' The curtainwall system is also designed with integrated drainage channels to ensure leak-proof performance and uses hidden fastening systems to maintain clean, modern aesthetics - factors that matter just as much in a skyline like Dubai's, where form and function are equally prized. From Doha to Sharjah: A scalable vision The UCS Green System is already in play on major projects, including Al Nakheel Tower West Bay and Al Faisal Tower in Doha. 'We also have projects in Sharjah and Ethiopia in the pipeline,' notes Sreekumar, underscoring the system's regional relevance and growing market appeal. With EEF's expansive manufacturing capacity and UCS's proprietary system, Sreekumar believes the product is ready for mass-market adoption. 'This isn't just for boutique eco-projects. The scalability, speed of assembly, and regulatory compliance make it ideal for residential, commercial, and public-sector buildings.' A façade for the future As the building sector prepares for increasingly stringent regulations and a shift towards circular economy models, EEF sees this partnership as part of a broader innovation arc. 'In the future, we'll see façades that can self-regulate thermal conditions, generate solar power through building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV), and use AI-driven monitoring to enhance energy performance,' says Sreekumar . 'We are already laying the groundwork for that reality.' For EEF, whose legacy includes shaping the aluminium infrastructure behind many of the Gulf's architectural landmarks, this green pivot is as much about evolution as it is about leadership.
