Human Resources Ministry has declared a due date for all private and government employees, both foreign and local, to register at the ministry in order to collect information about the employees working in the Maldives.
A ministry official said today that employees working in all sectors of Maldives must register before January 31 to compile an employees’ registry.
“Information about employees working in Maldives has not been collected yet. The registry will contain everyone that is entitled to a salary. The information will be collected in coordination with Planning [Ministry] and shared with Pension Administration Department,” the official said.
The ministry said the registry will enable the ministry to protect the rights of both employees and employers and to provide quality and swift government services.
According to Human Resources Ministry, expatriate workers are now working in the most basic occupations to the most expert occupations.
“We get complaints that jobs are announced specifically for foreigners. We face a lot of difficulties because we have no collected information to refer to,” the official said.
The official also noted that the registry will enable the ministry to reduce the number of foreign workers and increase the number of available job opportunities for locals.
The registration form is available from Human Resources Ministry and Province Offices. A copy is also available for download from the ministry website.
