Bahrain Warns Against Dealing With Unlicensed Offices and Agencies

The Labour Market Regulatory Authority (LMRA) warned citizens and residents from dealing with illegal brokers and agencies that do not have the necessary licenses as per the LMRA rules and regulations.

The Authority noted that dealing with such agencies will bring about serious legal repercussions, as well as social and health impacts.

The LMRA added that it pays special attention to agencies that provide manpower for domestic jobs, being a service that is closely associated with households and families. It affirms that it has put in place safeguards to protect the rights and well-being of all parties.

The Authority noted that unlicensed agencies deal with irregular and illegal workers that are in violation of the terms of their work permits. It called on employers to file an “absence from work report” by visiting any of the LMRA branches as per the set regulations, to avoid any legal accountability, adding that employers may authorise accredited recruitment agencies to file the report on their behalf.
