Several companies have been referred to the Public Prosecution for manipulating the National Labor Support scheme of the government by faking the employment of citizens.<\/p>\n
Inspection Department at the Public Authority for Manpower (PAM), which had been monitoring the erring companies for awhile found that they were faking recruitment of citizens in return for financial gains. The files of these companies were then sent to the Legal Affairs Department of PAM which then referred them to the Public Prosecution.<\/p>\n
In addition to initiating legal processes against the companies involved, PAM is also understood to have begun measures to recover the monthly financial support that these citizens received under false pretext.<\/p>\n
Authorities at PAM stressed that they would continue to fight against the phenomenon of fake recruitment of national labor in the private sector through periodic inspections of companies and work sites, to ensure employees who benefit from government support actually work in the companies they represent. The inspection teams will then send a detailed report to the concerned department in PAM, which will decide whether to continue the support or to stop it.<\/p>\n
PAM also revealed that the decision on implementing the new ratio of citizens to be employed in private sector companies, which was slated to come into force in July 2019, had been postponed until 2020, and not abolished as reported in some media sources. The authorities in PAM made clear that the postponement had been made in order to facilitate further discussion and incorporate certain amendments, in order to reach a consensus on the issue among all concerned parties.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
