Kuwait: Employment of Domestic Workers Suspended
Kuwait’s General Authority of Manpower has announced the workflow which should be followed by an employer if a domestic worker leaves to go to an unknown body or destination. The Authority said the employer should record a notice of absence of the employee in one of the service centres of the Interior Ministry. They should also visit the Department responsible for organising domestic worker recruitment in the Authority and file a complaint against paying for the tickets if the worker was found. The employer can also request compensation for their failure to complete the period. The Authority said if the worker doesn’t complete the first six months of recruitment the office has to refund the full amount.
