MOHRE set to expand domestic labour supply

ABU DHABI / WAM

The Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MOHRE) announced that the supply of domestic labour to the UAE will soon expand as the ministry prepares to sign bilateral memorandums of understanding with a number of countries of origin. In a statement, Dr Omar Alnuaimi, Assistant Under-Secretary for Communication and International Relations at MOHRE, said, “Soon after MOHRE became officially responsible for the administration of domestic labour, Saqr bin Ghobash Saeed Ghobash, Minister of Human Resources and Emiratisation, oversaw the development and implementation of a strategic plan with a view to ensure quality service to our customers and consolidate the regulation of the domestic labour sector.”
The ministry has engaged in bilateral consultations with a number of source countries aimed at reaching agreements on the employment of their nationals in the UAE domestic labour market, he explained. “These countries welcomed access by their nationals to employment opportunities in the UAE, particularly in view of the added protection afforded to domestic workers under the new Domestic Labour Law and the clarity of the rights and obligations under
the law of all stakeholders, including private
recruitment agencies,” Dr Alnuaimi added.
