UAE: Dh50,000 fine, jail term for hiring domestic workers illegally

Hiring domestic workers in the UAE through non-legal channels is a penal offence, as the move is a blatant violation of the Federal Labour law, according to a report in Khaleej Times.

The Federal Labour law can punish an employer for hiring illegal domestic workers by imposing a fine between Dh50,000 to Dh5 million (m) and also a jail sentence.

The sum of the penalty will depend on how many illegal domestic workers were hired by the errant employer.
