The Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development (HRSD) has called for compliance with updated regulations regarding domestic workers, according to a report by the Saudi Press Agency. These changes aim to create a better working environment and protect the rights of both employers and domestic workers.
The ministry explained that the new regulations clearly define the rights and responsibilities of both parties. They address important aspects such as working hours, rest periods, and provide clear guidelines for terminating or canceling contracts. This is intended to ensure fairness and reduce misunderstandings between employers and workers.
The updated rules also introduce penalties for those who fail to comply, helping to enforce the laws and maintain balance between the rights and duties of all involved. By simplifying legal processes and providing new definitions, the changes seek to minimize conflicts and make it easier to resolve disputes.
HRSD highlighted that these updates are part of broader efforts to improve the recruitment sector and strengthen the employer-domestic worker relationship. The ministry encouraged all parties to review the new regulations on its official website and stressed the importance of following them to avoid penalties.
