Saudi contractors reject planned fees over expat workers
- Saudi Arabia: Sunday, November 18 - 2012 at 01:50
President of the Council of Saudi Chambers, Abdullah Al-Mubti, has said businesses in the kingdom, most notably contracting firms, have expressed their reservations about the labour ministry's recent decision to levy a fee of SR2,400 a year on private companies for every expatriate worker if they employ more foreigners than Saudis, Arab News has reported. "The ministry's decision has caught us off-guard," said Al-Mubti. A number of business sectors that employ a large number of expatriates had expressed their reservations about the ministry's decision. "About 90% of workers in the contracting sector are foreigners," Al-Mubti said, urging the ministry to encourage Saudis to work with contracting companies.
