Change career - Business

The Occupation Change Service – Business is an electronic service provided by the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development, in collaboration with the General Organization for Social Insurance. It enables business owners to update or correct the registered job titles of employees within their establishments to match their actual roles. The service ensures the alignment of employee records with the Saudi labor classification system and improves compliance with labor regulations.

Employers or authorized representatives access the service through the Qiwa or Taminati A’mal platforms, navigate to “Occupation Management / Change Occupation,” and select the employee whose occupation needs updating. They then choose the new occupation from the Saudi National Classification of Occupations, and attach required documents such as an ID or residency copy and valid educational credentials if necessary.

Requests are electronically reviewed by relevant authorities to verify that the new job title aligns with the establishment’s activity. Upon approval, the updated occupation reflects across the Ministry, GOSI, and Passport Authority systems for integrated compliance.

This service plays a crucial role in professional data accuracy, workforce regulation, and achieving Saudi Vision 2030 goals for labor efficiency and fair employment practices.
