Analysis
Applications for Labour Ministry employment contract amendments are currently unavailable due to ongoing changes in the Tasheel Service Centre's system.
The system's improvements are related to the implementation of new labour decrees, which entailed significant procedural changes for obtaining work permit approvals.
It is expected that applications for employment contract amendments will be available once the electronic system has been fully upgraded and operational.
What This Means for Employers and Foreign Nationals
Employers cannot process Labour Ministry employment contract amendments until the upgrades to the electronic system used by Tasheel Service Centres have been completed.
