Dubai has recently witnessed growing frustration among Filipino workers due to the limited availability of online contract verification slots. This process is crucial for Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) planning to travel back to the Philippines.
Importance of Contract Verification
Contract verification is a mandatory step to obtain the Overseas Employment Certificate (OEC). Without the OEC, workers are not allowed to re-enter the UAE for work. Hence, the current shortage of verification slots has caused significant delays and uncertainty for many OFWs.
Concerns and Impact
The Philippine Overseas Labor Office has reported a high demand for more available slots to facilitate a faster application process. Filipino workers have voiced their concerns, emphasizing that the limited slots create difficulties in:
- Planning their travel schedules
- Managing their work commitments
Contract Verification Process
This process involves:
- Checking the authenticity of the employment contract
- Ensuring compliance with labor laws
- Protecting the rights of the workers
Collaborative Efforts
The UAE government and Philippine authorities are working hand-in-hand to enhance the ease and availability of contract verification online slots, aiming to reduce the difficulties faced by overseas workers in handling legal and employment paperwork.
Filipino workers remain hopeful that the concerned agencies will increase the availability of online slots soon.
