The Ministry of Labour (MoL) will scrap penalties imposed on employers whose employees have abandoned them and are working for other firms, provided the employers inform the ministry of such a violation, said a senior labour official.
Speaking to Khaleej Times yesterday, Qaseem Jameel, Deputy Director of the Inspection Department in the MoL, clarified that employers who report to the Inspection Department about the violation of Labour Law by their employees, will not face any punishment or fined.
The official's statement came in the wake of a report submitted by a UAE national, who is the owner of a mechanic workshop in Musaffah industrial area informing the ministry that two of his employees were working for another sponsor.
"The ministry will impose stiff punishment on the companies that hire workers who are sponsored by other employers," said Jameel.
According to the ministerial decision No.589 issued in September 2007, workers will face penalty of deportation and a 'life ban' if they are found working with employers other than their sponsors. Source
