Sharjah: The General Directorate of Residency and Foreigner Affairs in Sharjah stressed that employers are responsible for renewing the residency visas of their employees during a period of labour disputes.
Dr. Brigadier Abdullah Bin Sahoo, Director General of Sharjah's Residency and Foreigner Affairs, told the Arabic Daily Al Khaleej that employers are still responsible for renewing the visas until the employee legally transfers his or her visa to another party, or leaves the country.
He called on institutions and private companies to renew the visas of employees who are currently involved in labour disputes as part of their social, legal and ethical responsibility.
Sahoo said that companies must inform their employees from refraining from illegal side-jobs, such as washing cars and illegal vendor activities.
He urged companies to be very particular about people they hire, and to ascertain an employee's qualifications and the validity of their documents presented regarding previous experience or aforementioned qualifications.
"Sometimes companies would hire uneducated employees and then sacking them, which results in negative phenomenon for various categories of society, such as tourists, visitors, and other workers. Most of these workers end up residing in the country illegally," Sahoo added.
