Saudi to replace sponsorship with recruitment

Saudi plans to replace its expatriate sponsorship system with a set of private recruitment firms that will hire workers and manage their affairs, it was announced on Wednesday.

The move is the key recommendation from a five year study into the current sponsorship scheme which sees employers hire and sponsor individual workers.

Instead the recruitment firm will employ individual expatriate workers and manage all the details to do with their emplyment under legal regulations.

But the system will only cover minimum qualification workers such as labourers, drivers, housemaids and private female nurses, according to the Ministry of Labour.

something is better than nothing

.

Low paid workers are extremely in bad condition than those of highly paid employees or white colar guys

.

These poor guys with less pay must be given more job security
