The violations included selling the services of their domestic workers to outside parties, letting them work independently, and giving them tasks which was not previously agreed. Because of this, the violations were penalized with fines and their recruitment rights were revoked.
The Ministry has decided to suspend the licenses of 25 recruitment offices. This is because these offices have not followed the rules of providing labor services and recruiting, such as returning client funds or resolving employer complaints.
At the same time, the Ministry decided to revoke the licenses of 11 recruitment offices for failing to meet the minimal performance standards set out in the recruitment rules, as well as for repeatedly breaking and failing to rectify various articles of those rules.

As a whole, our aim is to strengthen the recruitment sector and provide high-quality services, make it easier for people to get the help they need, and improve the services we offer. We are also working to establish a system to deal with disagreements and complaints that may arise in our contractual relationships.
