Step by Step Guide to Download Qiwa Contract
Step 1 — Open Qiwa login
Start by searching for “Qiwa” in your browser. Click the official Qiwa login suggestion and choose “Welcome to Qiwa” to reach the login page.

Step 2 — Choose your login method: Iqama credentials or Nafath
Qiwa offers two login options:
- Identity number (Iqama) and password
- Nafath authentication (digital ID) — usually quicker and simpler
If you use Nafath, enter your Iqama number and click “Continue with Nafath”. You will receive a notification in the Nafath app to confirm the login.

Tip: If you don’t have Nafath set up, register and link your Iqama to the Nafath app before trying to log in.

Step 3 — Open your Qiwa profile and dashboard
After successful authentication, you’ll land on a Qiwa page. Click the profile arrow to open your Qiwa profile and access the dashboard. On the dashboard you should see an “Employment Contract” link or shortcut.

Step 4 — If you don’t see the contract link on the dashboard
Sometimes the “Employment Contract” link is not shown on the dashboard. In that case:
- Click “Services”
- Select “Employment Contract” from the services list
- Then choose “Your Current Contract”

Step 5 — Review the contract summary
Clicking “Your Current Contract” opens a summary page that shows essential details at a glance:
- Profession / Job title
- Contract period (start and end dates)
- Basic salary
- Probation period
This summary helps you confirm the main terms quickly before diving into the full contract.
Step 6 — Open “Contract Preview” to read full details
For the full contract text click “Contract Preview“. The preview contains the full legal document that lists responsibilities, rights, and all clauses in the contract.
What to check inside the full contract
- Joining date: The date you officially joined the company.
- First party: Company details (official name, contact).
- Second party: Your personal details (name, Iqama).
- Contract duration: Often fixed-term (e.g., one or two years) with start and end dates.
- Renewal terms: Check whether the contract auto-renews and any notice period for non-renewal.
- Resignation / termination notice: Contracts commonly require a notice period (e.g., 60 days) if you resign.
- Working days and hours: Number of working days per week and hours per day.
- Overtime policy: Overtime pay calculation (often expressed as a percentage above basic salary per hour).
- Annual leave entitlement: Number of vacation days per year and company rights to postpone leave in certain projects.

For example, the contract will clearly list the first party (employer) and second party (employee) details and show the contract duration and exact dates.
Key legal clauses to note in your Qiwa contract
- Renewal notice — 30 days: If you don’t want the contract to renew, you often must notify the employer a set number of days before contract end. Otherwise it may auto-renew.
- Resignation / notice period — 60 days: Many contracts require you to provide a formal notice and continue for a notice period before leaving.
- Overtime: Verify how overtime is paid — the contract might state a specific percentage extra per hour on top of the basic salary.
- Leave postponement: In short-term projects, employers may have the right to postpone your leave for a specified period (for example, up to a number of days).
⚠️ Note: Contract clauses are legally binding. If something looks wrong or inconsistent with employment law or your initial offer, raise it with HR or seek legal advice.
