The Labour Market Regulatory Authority (LMRA), the Ministry of Interior (MOI) and the Social Insurance Organization (SIO) continue to intensify joint efforts to activate regulatory tools to address illegal practices in the labour market and eliminate the phenomenon of irregular employment, in a way that preserves the fundamentals of the labor market.

The Authority announced the implementation of five inspection campaigns, which resulted in the monitoring of a number of violations related to the provisions of the Labour Market Regulatory Authority Law and the Residence Law in the Kingdom of Bahrain noting that legal measures have been taken in this regard.

The authority pointed to the implementation of two inspection campaigns in coordination with the Nationality, Passports and Residence Affairs (NPRA) and the Governorate Police Directorate, the first campaign was implemented in the Capital Governorate and the second in the Northern Governorate. Two more campaigns were carried out in partnership with the Sentence Enforcement Department in the Capital Governorate, and the fifth campaign was in coordination with the Social Insurance Organization (SIO) in the Southern Governorate.

 LMRA renewed its call to all members of the society to support the efforts of government agencies in addressing illegal labour practices, by reporting violations via the electronic form on the authority’s website www.lmra.gov.bh or by calling the authority’s call centre on 17506055.
