Also a foreign laborer could transfer his/her sponsorship if the sponsor leases the service of the laborer to another without the knowledge of the laborer or assigns her to work at the expense of non-relatives or do hazardous work that threatens her/his health or safety.
Male and female workers shall also have the right to quit their sponsors if it is proved that they are mistreated or if her/his lawsuit before the justice against the sponsor is prolonged without action being taken, provided that the laborer is not involved in the delay of ruling.
Also, if the employer files a false complaint that his employee is absent from work or he or his representative fails to show up at the court for two sessions or because of his absence for travel or prison or death, resulting in the delay of three successive months payment or any individual cases to be approved by the minister, the sponsorship can be transferred.
The decision also stipulates that the new employer to whom the service is transferred shall have the right to offer a maximum 15 day paid probationary period for a laborer, whereas he shall pay the government-prescribed fees for the transfer service, including SR 150-per-day cost of her stay at the government accommodation house.
