The Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development announced the availability of the Republic of Sierra Leone as a new international destination for the recruitment of domestic workers and added it to its previous decision to oblige all establishments that provide mediation service in the recruitment of domestic workers not to exceed the highest ceiling of costs set by the Ministry.
The Ministry has set the maximum limit for the recruitment of domestic workers from the Republic of Sierra Leone to reach SR 7,500, not including the value added tax, as this comes within the Ministry's continuous work to open new additional countries for recruitment and its endeavor to develop the services provided in the domestic labor sector.
This decision is considered a continuation of the Ministry's work to develop the sector, organize procedures and price governance in the recruitment market, control and follow up on their implementation to ensure the quality of the services provided, as the Ministry had previously committed licensed companies and offices to the highest ceiling for a number of nationalities, bringing the maximum limit for the recruitment of domestic workers from Ethiopia to SR 6,900, from Burundi to SR 7,500, from Uganda to SR 9,500, from Thailand to SR 10,000, from Kenya to SR 10,870, from Bangladesh to SR 13,000, from the Philippines to SR 17,288, and from Sri Lanka to SR 15,000, not including VAT.
This decision comes within the framework of the Ministry's endeavor to develop all services, improve the labor market environment and enhance its attractiveness, and its keenness to review the costs, services provided, and laws according to economic variables, and in a manner commensurate with them, as it emphasizes to all clients the need to adhere to not exceeding the announced price ceiling, as it will continue to implement this through the "Musaned" platform.
