Guide for amnesty-seekers issued

Abu Dhabi: The Ministry of Labour yesterday issued a booklet outlining steps to make use of the amnesty.

The guide is aimed at both illegal workers and violating companies to adjust the legal status of their employees. It divides illegal workers into six categories.

The six categories are workers whose labour cards have expired but are still in the country and working with their sponsors; workers who are still in the country but are not working with their sponsor; workers who are outside the country; workers are registered at the establishment's file in the ministry of labour but do not exist; workers who are not registered at the establishment's file in the ministry of labour and workers who are absconders.
