Qiwa “Termination of the contract upon Expiration” Not Working? (Real Reason Explained for OFWs in Saudi Arabia)
Is termination of the contract upon expiration not working in Qiwa? Learn the real reason, the 60-day rule, and what OFWs in Saudi Arabia should do.
Termination of the contract upon expiration not working in Qiwa
Introduction
Maraming OFW ngayon ang naguguluhan sa Qiwa—lalo na kapag gusto nilang gamitin ang “Termination of the contract upon Expiration” pero biglang ayaw gumana ng system. Akala nila may sapat pa silang time, pero may lumalabas na error o restriction. Kung isa ka sa naka-experience nito, importante na maintindihan mo kung bakit nangyayari ito at ano ang tamang gawin para hindi ka ma-stuck sa kontrata.
What Does “Termination of the contract upon Expiration” Mean in Qiwa?
“Termination of the contract upon Expiration” is a non-renewal action in the Qiwa platform.
This means:
- You are informing your employer in advance that you will NOT renew your contract
- The contract will end on its exact expiry date
- It is NOT immediate termination
👉 Important: This option requires proper notice period compliance
Why “Termination of the contract upon Expiration” Is NOT Working
Here are the most common reasons why OFWs cannot use this option:
1. Not Within the Allowed Notice Period Window
In many cases, Qiwa only allows “Termination of the contract upon Expiration” within a specific notice period window (commonly aligned with 60 days notice for monthly-paid workers).
If you try to file:
- Too early → System may block it
- Too late (less than required notice) → System will NOT allow it
👉 This is the #1 reason most users encounter errors
2. System Restriction Based on Contract Timeline
Even if your contract shows more than 60 days remaining, the system may:
- Count from a different reference point
- Apply internal validation rules
This creates confusion where:
- You THINK you are within allowed time
- But system says “cannot be used”
3. Contract Type and Status
Your contract status affects eligibility:
👉 Some combinations limit the use of expiry-based termination
4. Employer Review Requirement
Some termination reasons in Qiwa:
- Require employer approval
- Are classified as “review-needed” actions
If your case falls under this:
- The process may not proceed automatically
Common Mistake of OFWs
Many OFWs assume:
❌ “Kapag malapit na expiry, pwede na agad gamitin”
❌ “Basta may 60 days pa, okay na”
👉 Reality:
Qiwa follows strict logic + validation rules, not just visible dates.
What You Can Do Instead
If “termination upon expiry” is NOT working, here are your options:
✅ Option 1: Use Resignation (With Proper Notice)
You may file:
- Resignation with 60-day notice (monthly salary)
- This ensures compliance with Saudi Labor Law
👉 This is often the safest alternative
✅ Option 2: Coordinate with Employer
You can:
- Inform employer of your intent NOT to renew
- Let employer process the exit or non-renewal
✅ Option 3: Monitor Contract Timeline Carefully
Always:
- Check your contract in Qiwa platform
- Count notice period correctly
- Avoid last-minute actions
Real Scenario (OFW Case)
Example:
- Contract ends: July 15
- OFW tries to file in April
- System says: “Cannot be used”
👉 Possible reason:
- Not yet within allowed filing window
- Or system restriction based on internal validation
Key Takeaways
- “Termination of the contract upon Expiration” = advance notice, not immediate exit
- Must follow strict notice period timing
- System may block requests even if dates seem valid
- Alternative options like resignation may be required
