Dubai: If you are thinking for hiring a domestic worker or nanny in the UAE, you need to ensure that they are from service centres and recruitment agencies approved by the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MOHRE).

In a social media post on Tuesday, March 26, MOHRE advised people to beware of misleading ads from unapproved domestic worker recruitment agencies and to only engage with MOHRE authorised agencies.

Why should employers hire from licenced agencies?

Recruitment agencies and service centres providing domestic worker services in the UAE are regulated and supervised by MOHRE. Not only are these agencies licensed to recruit domestic workers, they also provide workers with the needed training and counselling services. The agencies then match these workers with prospective employers, depending on the employer’s needs.

When you hire a worker through an approved agency, you also receive legal guarantees and are entitled to a refund if the worker is unable to work.

Additionally, as per the ‘Domestic Helper Law’, people are prohibited from employing any domestic helper unless he or she has the necessary work permit. Violating this law can lead to a fine of at least Dh50,000, up to Dh200,000 being levied on the employer.
