Bagong Labor Reform Initiative ng Saudi Arabia, Epektibo na!



MANILA, Philippines — EPEKTIBO na ang bagong Labor Reform Initiative o LRI ng Saudi Arabia na may layuning pagbutihin ang contractual relationship sa mga manggagawa sa private sector ng bansa.

Ayon sa Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development (MHRSD), isa itong pangunahing pagbabago sa Saudi labor market at sa ugnayan ng employer at expatriate workers.

Sa impormasyon na nakuha ng Ozak, isang Arabic Saudi Arabian daily newspaper, ang LRI umano ay nagbibigay ng maraming serbisyo kabilang na ang job transfer (transfer to another employer), exit/reentry, at final exit na maaaring magamit sa pamamagitan ng Absher at Qiwa platforms.

Sakop ng LRI ang lahat na mga expatriate workers kagaya na lamang ng mga Filipino na nag-tatrabaho sa private sector establishments sa Saudi Arabia.

Pinapayagan ng job mobility service ang paglilipat ng trabaho ng isang expatriate worker sa pagitan ng mga pribadong sektor sa kondisyon na isina-alang alang ang karapatan ng bawat partido ng employer at ng expatriate worker.

Wala umanong dagdag na bayad ang paggamit ng job mobility service sa pamamagtan ng Qiwa platform.

Ano ang Eligibility Conditions para sa Expatriate Workers?
  • Dapat expatriate worker ang isang manggagawa na nagtatrabaho sa ilalim ng Saudi Labor System.

  • Dapat nakumpleto ng manggagawa ang kabuuang isang taong serbisyo sa kasalukuyang employer nito, mula sa petsa ng kanyang pagdating sa bansa.

  • Dapat mayroong itong valid na employment contract.

  • Dapat mayroong job offer mula sa bagong employer ang isang manggagawa sa ilalim ng Qiwa portal.

  • Dapat mag-sumite ang manggagawa ng notice of transfer request sa kasalukuyang employer nito, ngunit nararapat nitong isa-alang alang ang notice period.

Samantala sa ilalim ng LRI, pinapayagan din ang paglilipat ng manggagawa sa ibang employer na walang kondisyon ngunit base sa mga sumusunod na sitwasyon:

  • Kawalan ng notarized o registered work contract
  • Hindi nabayaran ng sahod sa loob ng tatlong magkasunod na buwan
  • Kawalan ng employer dahil sa pag-bakasyon nito, pagkakulong o pagkamatay.
  • Kung nag-expire na ang work permit o visa ng isang expatriate worker.
  • Kung inireport ng isang worker ang commercial cover-up ng employer nito sa kondisyon na hindi sangkot.
  • Kung nagkaroon ng hindi pagkaka-unawaan dahil sa trabaho ang worker at ang employer, at kung nabigo ang employer o ang representante nitong dumalo sa hearing o anumang judicial level sa kabila ka-alaman nito ukol sa petsa ng nabanggit na mga hearing.
  • Kung pinapayagan ng kasalukuyang employer ang paglilipat ng trabaho ng expatriate worker.


Una nang inihayag ni Undersecretary of the Ministry of Human Resources for Inspection and Development of Work Environment Sattam Al-Harbi na hindi ang employer ang magde-desisyon na kailangan nang umalis ng bansa ng isang manggagawa sakaling may makita itong ibang trabaho.

Hindi rin umano dapat hadlangang maka-uwi sa bansa nito ang isang manggagawa sakaling may utang pa ito sa kanyang employer. Sa halip, dapat itong habulin ng employer sa pamamagitan ng judicial authorities.

Sa paglilinaw ng opisyal, wala nang sponsorship o kafalah, sa halip magkakaroon ng contractual relationship ang employer at worker nito.

Dagdag pa ni Al-Harbi na ang nabanggit na contractual relationship ay naaayon sa work contract na may sinusunod na regulation at procedures na kapwa sinang-ayunan ng magkabilang-panig.

Sakali umanong may hindi pagkaka-unawaan sa kontrata, kailangang dalhin ito sa labor court upang mapag-usapan at ma-desisyunan.

Saudi Arabia Canceling Sponsorship System For Certain Jobs?


The kafala or sponsorship system is a system used in monitoring migrant laborers who are working primarily in the construction and domestic sectors in  Middle Eastern countries such as Bahrain, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE. Attributed to modern-day slavery that puts expatriate workers including overseas Filipino workers (OFW) deployed as household service workers (HSW) vulnerable to abuse and maltreatment.

Many Filipinos especially those in the remote areas of the country.   They can only avail of medical attention once in a blue moon through medical missions coming from non-government organizations (NGO's) and other health advocacy groups. Instances also happen where citizens, even at the heart of the city suffer illnesses and just succumb to their deaths without having treated due to expensive medications and hospitalization. Soon, all Filipinos will have access to free health services including the families of the overseas Filipino workers (OFW).   This situation is about to change as the new universal health bill was already approved and soon to be enacted as a law. The Senate passed on third and final reading a bill that seeks to provide adequate health care services to Filipinos.

Under the universal health care law, "contributors" or those who have the capacity to pay will have to pay for their premiums while the government will shoulder the contributions of non-contributors. Funds for the subsidy will be included in the annual General Appropriations Act as well as sin taxes from cigarettes will also be a major source of funding for the policy.  Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque, who authored the bill when he was still a party-list representative, thanked the Senate for passing what he considers to be a "groundbreaking" law.  The House of Representative had previously passed a version of the bill (House Bill No 5784) in September 2017.

More often, families with overseas Filipino workers (OFW) rely on their OFW breadwinner in providing their needs and without doing any efforts to have extra income. They use the money they receive to pay their bills, rents, mortgages, etc. They tend to spend the remittances they receive and wait for the next remittance when the money is over without any savings. This is the reason why no matter how long the OFWs exhaust themselves working overseas, they are still coming home broke and without any savings.
