(MENAFN) Guest workers will not be able to change their workplace before their work permits expire under new regulations issued by the Labour Ministry recently.
In detail, the new rules stipulate that guest labourers who no longer wish to continue working for a certain employer cannot work for other employers and should be deported, in coordination with the Public Security Department's Residence and Borders Department.
After the work permits expire and workers agree with their employers not to renew them, the laborers can work at other establishments, provided that they obtain a statement of acquittal from their first employer and a new permit.
While the Labour Ministry insists that such decisions are meant to streamline the labour sector and protect the rights of all parties involved, a migrant worker advocate organisation perceives them as "unjust" and "inhumane" procedures.
