Temporary work permit for 60-plus
Here's a news of use for 60-plus workers. Those above 60 can now work on temporary work permits in the UAE without paying the Dh5,000 'exception fees', according to Khalil Khoury, Director of the Work Permit Department at the Ministry of Labour (MoL).
Khoury told Khaleej Times yesterday that companies can bring in experts, even if they are 60-plus, without paying the exception fees.
"This rule applies for experts or professionals, who can come to the UAE to work on temporary work permits for three months. This permit is renewable only once," said Khoury. "After that, the expert can leave the country (even for a night) and come back again on a new temporary work permit," he pointed out.
This permit system aims to ensure the rights of workers, as the companies must pay their wages on time, provide them with accommodation, periodical health insurance (90 days), and air-tickets to leave the country after they complete the job they came for.
"The fee for this permit is Dh500, and the same amount is to be paid for renewing the work permit for another three-month period. This gives the firms a chance to hire experts or workers on casual basis, and at the same time, protects the rights of workers as well," said Khoury.
