Services at six Tadbeer centres suspended
ABU DHABI: The Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MOHRE) has decided to prohibit six out of 54 Tadbeer centres from providing all domestic worker services till further notice for commiting legal and administrative violations.
The MOHRE affirmed that it would not be lenient with the Tadbeer centres that are not commited to providing domestic worker services in accordance with the executive regulations of the law and the operational guide for these centres.
The decision is based on MOHRE’S keenness on protecting the rights of all parties and providing distinguished services that meet the aspirations and needs of employers and national and resident families by means of Mohre-approved packages of fixed price ceilings. These packages take into account the cost of recruiting the domestic worker from the sending country and the cost of his training.
The ban came ater the MOHRE’S teams discovered that these centres did not adhere to the price ceilings set for the packages and ater the MOHRE received complaints from its customers that the concerned centres were commited neither to replacing domestic workers nor with reimbursing the complainants as stipulated in the executive regulations of the law on domestic workers no. 10 for 2017.
According to the executive regulations, Tadbeer centres are obligated to provide employers or families with guaranteed domestic workers, in which case customers are entitled to recover the full recruitment costs or replace a domestic worker with another in case the former has revoked the contract, has unjustifiably let work or has proved to be physically unfit or unable to perform the tasks assigned to him within the probation period of six months.
Customers are entitled to recover part of the recruitment costs in the event the worker has terminated the contract or has let work without a legitimate reason during the post-probation period until the end of the two-year contract.
The aforementioned costs are calculated according to the following equation: (total recruitment cost divided by the worker’s contract period estimated in months and multiplied by the remaining period of the worker’s labour contract.
