Saudi Arabia has announced that it has decided to relax some of the restrictions on contracts with migrant workers. Under these agreements, employers had control over the life decisions of about a crore of foreign workers. Under the reforms, foreign private sector workers will be able to change jobs and leave Saudi Arabia without the permission of their employer.
According to the source, the Saudi Arabian Ministry of Human Resources has stated that as of March 14, 2021, there will be no more kafala system. Foreign workers will benefit from the lifting of the “kafala” system.
Due to the kafala system in Saudi Arabia, foreign workers have to work with the employer or the employer’s organization wherever they go. Even if an employee has more opportunities in another organization, he cannot change that organization. That is why workers are deprived. However, if the ‘kafala’ system is abolished, employees will be able to work in other organizations at their convenience. In addition, visa complications for workers will be eliminated.
This will allow workers to change jobs or leave Saudi Arabia without permission from an organization. In addition, these workers can travel outside of Saudi Arabia without the permission of the employer. Foreign workers will be able to apply directly for government services and their contracts will be digitally documented.
