Set wage for SL workers in Saudi [July 06 2013]

by Naalir Jamaldeen

The Sri Lanka Bureau of Foreign Employment (SLBFE) is strong in its stance that the domestic house keepers who are employed in Saudi Arabia should be paid a minimum of 900 Saudi Riyal, SLBFE Deputy General Manager Mangala Randeniya said.

All licensed foreign employment agencies have been asked to sign the agreement only after the employer agrees to pay 900 Saudi Riyals salary per month and not below the said amount.

This salary scheme will be implemented in Saudi Arabia alone, Mr. Randeniya added.
