- The second phase is an extension of the development of the Ministry's policies and services in line with the objectives of the labor market strategy, raising its efficiency and the level of labor rights, demanding the new employer to pay the financial compensation from the date the worker moved to it.
- The application of this phase is in the interest of all parties by stopping the gathering of unpaid amounts on the current employer, not burdening the new employer with the debt of those amounts for a previous period in which he did not benefit from the services of the worker, and also contributing to improving the worker's journey and raising the level of flexibility of job change procedures between companies to create an attractive labor market.
- The Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development has made available the "Qiwa" platform to allow the labor sector to access all its services with unified access, as it aims to create an integrated and competitive labor market that achieves the objectives of the labor market strategy.
