Abstract |

Keywords: Bahrain, Laws & Regulations, Foreign Labour, SponsorshipIn accordance with Art. 1 of this decision, a foreign worker may be transferred to another employer who wishes to hire him with the original employer’s approval, and if the worker has no objection to the transfer.
The transfer may be effected without the approval of the original employer in a number of situations including: at the end of the worker’s contract, the job for which he was recruited or his residence period or the closure of the establishment for which he is working; if the employer fails to pay the worker’s wages for three consecutive months with no good reason; if the employer wants to correct the status of a foreign worker employed by him without a work permit after having escaped from his original employer without being reported (Art. 2). This decision does not apply to domestic workers and those in similar positions (Art. 5). |
