UAE workers who visit the 'Tawjeeh' centres in Abu Dhabi and Dubai will be given a 'happiness card', which includes a free mobile SIM card, it was announced on Saturday. Tawjeeh centres act as guidance departments to ensure better labour related services in the country.
The Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation stores these phone numbers on its database and sends details of new labour laws or regulations as SMS to them.
Seven centres in Abu Dhabi and another seven in Dubai currently offer services in 16 languages to workers. The ministry will open another 23 centres by the end of this year, taking the total number of such centres to 37.
Maher Al Obed, undersecretary for inspection at the ministry, said the centres aim to raise the awareness of employers and employees about their rights and duties.
The official urged workers - especially those who come to the country for the first time - to visit the centres to understand labour laws and regulations.
The centres are equipped with guidance professionals to educate employees and employers about labour laws and regulations; issue labour contracts and work permits; and distribute pamphlets and brochures with labour related basics.
