RIYADH — Recruitment offices and companies have to abide by new legal forms which have replaced employment contracts in accordance with amended regulations, spokesman of the Ministry of Labor and Social Development Khaled Bin Abdulaziz Abalkhail said in a statement here on Wednesday. He said the ministry is keen on protecting the contractual relationship by providing quality services that ensure enough time for domestic workers to arrive in the Kingdom and reduce recruitment cost. Abalkhail said the ministry inspects manpower suppliers to ensure the implementation of recruitment rules. Punitive action is taken against those who violate the labor and residency regulations, he added. The spokesman emphasized that the ministry strives to maintain the rights of customers and serve the interests of stakeholders.
