Closure of 77 Accounts on Social Media Engaged in Unlicensed Labor Recruitment

In an important step to protect the labor market, the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation announced the closure of 77 social media accounts engaged in labor recruitment without a license. This operation was conducted in collaboration with the Telecommunications Regulatory Authority and the Digital Government, highlighting the importance of dealing with licensed companies that comply with applicable laws. These measures underscore the ministry’s credibility in addressing violations related to the employment of domestic workers.

Investigations Reveal Violating Accounts

During the first half of this year, the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation obtained accurate results through extensive investigations, revealing that the 77 accounts were unofficial and lacked the official license to engage in domestic labor recruitment. This constitutes a clear violation of the laws established by the state, reflecting the need for greater awareness regarding illegal employment.

Call to Deal with Licensed Offices

The ministry urged employers and families, whether citizens or residents, to engage with accredited and licensed domestic labor recruitment offices. The ministry emphasizes the importance of avoiding pages and accounts on social media that promote illegal domestic labor employment, due to the negative implications for the rights of those involved.

Preserving Legal Rights

The Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation confirmed in a press statement that dealing with unlicensed labor recruitment offices can result in individuals losing their legal rights. When engaging with licensed offices, employees are guaranteed all rights and benefits supported by the legal framework in the country.

How to Verify Licensed Offices

To ensure the reliability of entities promoting domestic labor recruitment on social media, the ministry encouraged individuals to contact the call center at 600590000. Additionally, the ministry provides an updated list of names and locations of licensed offices across the country on its website, www.mohre.gov.ae, facilitating informed decisions for citizens and residents.

The Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation remains committed to protecting the market and enhancing transparency in labor recruitment processes, striving to ensure the rights of all within an appropriate legal framework. The closure of 77 accounts on social media engaged in unlicensed labor recruitment reflects the ongoing efforts to combat violations in this vital sector.
