Abstract |
|
| Keywords: Bahrain, Laws & Regulations, Foreign Labour, RecruitmentArt. 1 of this decision lists the terms and conditions according to which an employer may contract a recruitment agency to hire foreign labour on his behalf. The most important of which is the fourth term which requires the employer to conclude a written contract with the recruiter indicating the type of work to be undertaken by the foreign labourers and their wages, obligating the employer to abide by them. The contract must also include an indication of the length of time the services of the foreign labourers would be required and their countries of origin. The sixth condition forbids both the employer and recruiter from receiving any fee from a foreign worker in exchange for offering him employment. | |
