OBSTACLES REMAIN : FILIPINO WORKERS ARRIVAL DELAYED

  • 06/05/2021

Kuwait City : According to reports, certain issues such as the requirement for a new employee, who never worked in any of the Gulf countries before, to complete a training course in a specialized institute might delay the arrival of new Filipino domestic workers. The number of workers attending one session was reduced due to the corona pandemic and this was reflected in the reduction of job requests.Another obstacle that slows down the recruitment process is the delayed issuance of passports for workers in Manila, which takes about three months.


Chairperson of Kuwait Domestic Labor Union (KUDLO) Khaled Al-Dakhnan urged the citizens and expatriates, who want to recruit domestic workers, to carefully read the entire tripartite employment contract before signing it in order to know their obligations, duties and rights. He warned that signing the contract means they must adhere to all the terms stipulated therein, confirming the contract is based on Domestic Labor Law No. 68/2015.
