Service Description

The establishment can apply for secondment of a worker from his current establishment to their establishment for a period of time without the need to change the employer, where the worker after issuing the license can work full-time or part-time with the establishment submitting the request - while he is still working with his current establishment.
This process allows the new employer to submit a secondment request for a specific employee, specifying the secondment data such as the duration and type of secondment (full-time or part-time), and if the current employer approves, a secondment work permit is issued to the worker after approval from The Ministry of Labour and under its supervision.
