Hiring a domestic worker through social media platforms can be convenient, but there are several reasons why it’s often a better idea to hire through approved agencies instead:
Satisfaction Assured: A 6-Month Trial with Refund or Replacement
In 2019, MOHRE had issued a newsletter, detailing when employers are entitled to a full refund or replacement:
- Termination of the contract by the worker without a legitimate reason during the probation period.
- Absence from work without a legitimate reason during the probationary period.
- Lack of medical fitness for employment.
- Inability of the worker to perform their duties, as required and agreed.
Obtain a partial refund guarantee after a 2-year trial period
Employers are entitled to a partial refund under two circumstances:
- Termination of the contract by the worker without a legitimate reason after the end of the probationary period.
- Absence from work without a legitimate reason after the probationary period.
Employers will receive trained domestic workers
MOHRE-approved agencies ensure that the domestic workers who are available to be hired are provided with the right training for managing domestic chores, providing child care or other services they may be hired for.
The domestic worker procedures for hiring, can all be done at one place – the Tadbeer centre
Tadbeer centre services are regulated by MOHRE. These centres handle the sponsorship and recruitment process for domestic workers in the UAE. Want to know more about Tadbeer’s services? Read here.
While social media can be a useful tool for networking and connecting with potential domestic workers, it’s important to exercise caution and consider the potential risks. Working with approved agencies can help mitigate many of these risks and provide a more structured and secure hiring process.
