Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Labor has launched the online web portal www.laboreducation.gov.sa to educate expatriate workers on their rights and handle complaints systematically, Arab News reports.
Launched on Tuesday, the site “aims to boost awareness about workers’ rights and the rules that regulate the relationship between the employee and employer in the Kingdom,” but the English version of the site is still not finished.
Arab News:
The Web portal comes in the light of several reports of exploitation of expatriate workers in particular, due to lack of legal knowledge. The portal provides useful information related to the contact details of relevant authorities, workers’ rights, contractual obligations and wages, working hours, training, qualification, work responsibility, disciplinary rules and the calculation of end of service benefits.
