Lankan recruitment offices have raised housemaid recruitment fees:Report
Sri Lankan recruitment offices have raised housemaid recruitment fees by about 92 percent from US$1,560 to US$3,000, according to Chairman of the recruitment committee of the Eastern Province Chamber of Commerce and Industry Hussain Al-Mutairi who was quoted in a report by the Saudi Gazette.
Sri Lankan recruitment offices have stopped travel permits for their manpower and nullified all documents they received from the Kingdom in order to enforce their decision and put pressure on Saudi recruiters, Mutairi told the Saudi Gazette.
He said Sri Lankan recruitment offices went against signed agreements and increased the monthly salary of housemaids from SR1,100 to SR1,300 starting February.
They said that some 300 Sri Lankan recruitment offices made an agreement among themselves to reject any housemaid recruitment request from Saudi Arabia for a fee which is less than US$3,000.
