RIYADH - The Ministry of Labor has said that no permits have been issued to companies specialized in supplying domestic workers.
Hattab Bin Saleh Al-Enezi, official spokesman of the Ministry of Labor, said the ministry has not issued licenses to new recruitment companies till now. "Only preliminary registration for obtaining the licenses has taken place," the official said in a statement.
Al-Enezi stressed that the service seeker must verify the official license of the company he is going to deal with so as to prevent being a deception victim.
The official denied media reports that companies specializing in supplying domestic workers have been issued licenses. He warned that some of the advertisements are for bogus unlicensed companies.
The ministry carried out inspection tours of the locations mentioned in the advertisements. Shockingly, the companies did not have anything to do with the advertisements, he said.
Al-Enezi warned people not to deal with such offices and bogus entities that exploit the needs of Saudi families. The ministry, he said, is closely monitoring these entities and would penalize those found guilty.
