RIYADH – The Ministry of Labor and Social Development (MLSD) has launched a scheme to open bank accounts for the disbursement of salaries and allowances of domestic workers.

Khaled Abalkhail, spokesman for the ministry, said the scheme aimed at protecting contractual obligations and rights of both domestic work and their employers. The scheme would cover all domestic workers in the Kingdom.

Employers must have online documentation of the labor contract through the portal of Musaned (www.musaned.gov.sa), with details of monthly salary and other particulars before opening the bank accounts. The domestic workers can lodge their complaints if any through Musaned portal or by contacting customer service number of 19911, he said.
