The UAE’s Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MOHRE) has revoked the licenses of two recruitment agencies for domestic workers. MOHRE named the two agencies as Shamma Al Mahairi Domestic Workers Services Centre in Dubai and Al Barq Domestic Workers Services Centre L.L.C in Ajman. According to MOHRE, the agencies committed legal violations, and that the owners of the agencies have been ordered to “settle the status of their workers, fulfil their obligations towards both workers and domestic workers’ employers, and pay any fines that were due until the date of licence cancellation.” The ministry said that legal action will be taken against the recruitment agencies. The ministry cautioned the public against dealing with unlicensed offices and urged people to contact its call centre at 600590000 to submit feedback on domestic worker recruitment agencies and to visit its website, mohre.gov.ae, to view the list of licensed agencies. ICA/Expat Media ALSO READ: UAE law on domestic workers, housemaids
