Outstanding companies
The Public Authority for Manpower is currently working on completing a trial procedure for outstanding private and oil sector companies with the lists system that is due to be launched by the beginning of next year. Notably, the authority coordinated with the ministry of commerce and industry and the industries union to select 13 companies to be included on the list. The selected companies will be given certain privileges including assessing their need for labor to get one worker per 5 sq m of the total area of the rented premises, with a maximum of 200 workers per license.
