UAE allows domestic workers over 60 years to renew employment contract

Domestic workers aged over 60 years will now be able to renew their employment contracts in the United Arab Emirates, subject to three conditions, announced the country’s Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation.
The three conditions placed by the ministry are medical fitness, payment of medical coverage and an official consent by competent departments.
The auxiliary worker should be physically fit under a medical certificate issued by relevant government authorities. Their employers should bear the entire financial costs of their medical treatment in the UAE. Thirdly, an official approval must be obtained from competent bodies, allowing the continuation of their residency visa in the UAE.
“Domestic workers aged over 60 years shall be allowed to get their employment contracts renewed under three conditions, including medical fitness, payment of medical coverage and an official consent by competent departments allowing them to continue their residency visa,” state media WAM said.

“This step stems from the Ministry’s keenness to meet the needs of the employers and households wishing to keep their domestic helpers for longer periods and who are certain their performance is not affected by age,” said Khalil Khouri, the Ministry’s Under-Secretary for Domestic Workers’ Affairs.
The Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation has introduced Tadbeer service centres for handling all household and domestic workers in the UAE. Sponsored by the ministry, the Tadbeer service centres guarantees safety and security for those wanting to hire domestic workers.
