Riyadh: Under Saudi Arabia’s labor law, foreign workers working in the kingdom are bound not to work anywhere other than their sponsors.
Individuals who work elsewhere are breaking the law, requiring regular permission to work temporarily in a place other than the sponsor.
To work temporarily in another place, one has to get a permit from the Ministry of Manpower’s subsidiary “Ajir” after which the worker is eligible to work in another place on temporary basis.
From the licenses, a person discovered that the system has a hard file while the residence is not expired, in which case the sponsorship can be changed?
“In Saudi Arabia, under the labor law, foreign workers who do not work for their sponsors and work elsewhere are found to be violators,” Jawazat said.
According to the law of the Ministry of Manpower, formerly known as the Ministry of Labor, foreign sponsors are responsible for maintaining the legal affairs of their dependents.
According to the licenses, according to the regulations, the sponsors are responsible for the timely renewal of the workers’ residences. Violations are also subject to disciplinary action by the Ministry of Manpower.
The ministry has set rules that must be followed to keep employer and employee matters right.
It should be noted that persons who work elsewhere without the permission of their sponsors and have no contact with the sponsors, have the responsibility of the sponsors to immediately inform the relevant department of the Ministry of Manpower to their worker. Inform about
In the relevant department of the Ministry of Manpower, such workers are included in the category of fugitives. According to the regulations, those against whom “Hurob” is filed, their file is confiscated in the licenses.
Within 15 days of filing Hurob, the sponsor is able to cancel it from his Abshar account. Later, the process of canceling Hurob becomes difficult.
The sponsorship of such workers against whom Hrub has been filed for a long time cannot be changed until Hrub is canceled. This requires providing regular documentary evidence that Harrob was the wrong file.
Regarding the change of sponsorship, the justification says that in order to change the sponsorship of a foreign worker, there should be no violation in the file of the worker and there should be no file seizure.
Regarding domestic workers in the country, a person asked on Twitter about the permits. How long can the residency of former special or domestic workers be renewed?
In response to a question, Jawazat said that the residency of domestic workers can be renewed with less than 14 months left.
Remember that domestic workers include drivers, janitors, maids, etc. The issuance and renewal of the residency of persons holding the said profession is directly responsible for the licenses while the work permit is renewed by the Ministry of Manpower prior to the issuance and renewal of the residency of the commercial employees.
