Legal action against 30 domestic worker recruitment offices

The Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MoHRE) has taken legal action against 30 Domestic Worker Recruitment Offices across the UAE after confirming their involvement in 89 violations flagged during the first three months of 2025. The measures form part of the Ministry's ongoing efforts to implement its integrated field and digital monitoring system, which aims to identify and address any violations by Domestic Worker Recruitment Offices and ensure their compliance with relevant legislation. MoHRE supports the system with prompt responses to all complaints regarding these offices submitted to it by employers and families.

In a press statement, the Ministry explained that the recorded violations primarily involve failure to refund all or part of the recruitment fees to employers within the legally specified timeframe of two weeks from the date the Domestic Worker was returned to the Recruitment Office, or from the date the worker was reported to have stopped working.

Other violations include failure to display the MoHRE-approved service package pricing clearly and visibly for clients.
