Handbook on rules to be released

A HANDBOOK containing information about Bahrain’s laws, rules and regulations will soon be released. The Employee Handbook has been compiled by lawyers V K Thomas and Wafa Al Ansari, and will be published in English and Malayalam.

It aims to target expatriate workers and explains different rules of the Labour Market Regulatory Authority, immigration, Pension Fund Authority and other regulations.

“We hope to print editions in Hindi and other languages shortly,” said Mr Thomas during a meeting held at Caesar’s Restaurant in Adliya.

“Each and every worker must be made aware of his basic rights, duties and obligations during their stay and work in Bahrain.”

The Indian Embassy, KIMS Bahrain Medical Centre, State Bank of India, New India Assurance and Gulf Madhyamam sponsored the printing of the book.

It will be distributed for free to Indian workers through the embassy and other clubs and associations. The publication will be officially released today after the monthly Open House event at the embassy in Adliya.
