Deporting workers who refuse to work during trial period is recruitment offices' responsibility
The Musaned platform under the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development (MHRSD) confirmed that the recruitment offices are the ones who are responsible for deporting the workers who refuse to work after being recruited for 90 days, starting from the date of the domestic worker’s arrival to Saudi Arabia.
Musaned reiterated that during the trial period, the recruitment offices and companies are obligated to deport the worker, and return the recruitment cost, deducting from it the equivalent of the period the worker spent at work, according to the following equation: (The total of recruitment cost ÷ the duration of the worker' work contract by months) x the remaining period of the worker' work contract by months.
It has stated that if the recruitment offices refused to deport the worker, the individuals must submit a complaint through Musaned to follow up the requested complaint until the restoration of the rights.
During the trial period, the beneficiaries can prove the worker's refusal to work via the domestic workers' dispute settlement committees, or by document from the licensee, then submit a complaint through Musaned platform.
Musaned noted that after the expiry of the 90-day period, the employer will be responsible for the worker, according to what is indicated in the terms of the contract.
The platform also stated that the beneficiaries can issue an alternative visa without government fees in the event of the final exit of the workers within 90 days from the date of their arrival in Saudi Arabia.
