New warning to MWDW recruitment agencies

The ministry of labor repeatedly warned agencies recruiting domestic workers (MWDWs) of receiving direct or indirect payments from MWDWs after it learned that some employers and recruitment offices are still forcing MWDWs to pay them the salaries of the first months of work. A statement to this effect, said that in the event of any violation of the terms of this circular, the ministry will take maximum punitive measures against the violators. This, the statement noted, could reach the cancellation of their licenses and blacklisting the party in contravention of the ministry’s orders. To recall, the ministry of labor has issued a similar directive back in December, 2017. (Al Diyar, Al Mustaqbal, February 21, 2018)
