Abstract

Art. 1 of this decision lists the conditions that shall be met before the transfer of sponsorship may be authorized by the Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs.

In accordance with Art. 4, the Minister of Labour and Social Affairs may allow the secondment of construction labourers from one firm to another subject to a number of conditions. The number of labourers should not be less than twenty, the new employer should have an actual need for them, and the consent of the current employer must be obtained.

The article further lists the fees corresponding to each application of secondment submitted to the Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs, which vary depending on the duration of secondment requested.
