UAE employers must register online before hiring Indian workers
Abu Dhabi, June 1
The Indian embassy in the
United Arab Emirates (UAE) has made it mandatory for prospective
employers seeking to hire Indian workers to register online on its
website, an official statement here said.
According to the
statement issued by the embassy on Sunday, the employers will need to
register online at the eMigrate system (www.emigrate.gov.in) after which
they can obtain a permit to recruit workers directly or through
approved recruiting agents.
The new system will be implemented in
phases -- employers hiring between 50 and 150 indian workers will have
to register before June 30; those hiring 20 to 50 workers must register
by July 31; and those hiring less than 20 workers must register by
August 31.
Employers hiring over 150 workers are advised to register online with immediate effect.
Employers will be required to declare the terms and conditions of employment at the time of registration.
