The recent announcement made by the Ministry of Home Affairs on enforcing a BND2,000 cap in fees paid for domestic workers’ employment brought a sense of relief especially among us, the working parents.
Getting hired help has been quite costly with domestic employment agencies imposing fees of up to BND5,000 to BND6,000 just to bring in one domestic worker. Now with a capped fee that is more reasonable and affordable, working parents like us will be able to employ domestic workers to help in the household.
Employment agencies should cooperate and adhere to the regulations and not take advantage by imposing any additional payments on their own terms.
