The recruitment of domestic workers is a vital issue that affects thousands of households and workers internationally. In the Middle East, particularly in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, this process is streamlined by the “Musaned” online platform, which not only facilitates the visa application process for domestic workers but also ensures the protection of their rights through various insurance benefits.
– To begin the visa application process, employers must log into their Musaned account.
– Upon accessing the dashboard, users can navigate to their personal profile.
– From there, they can access the control panel to manage their visa requests.
– The platform also offers users the ability to view and compare different recruitment services and prices.
– The insurance scheme for domestic worker contracts is designed to protect both the employer and the employee.
– Benefits include repatriation of remains, compensation for unpaid wages, and costs for replacing workers who fail to fulfill their duties.
– The insurance is not mandatory for current domestic workers or when transferring services.
