280 agencies fail to submit complete worker documents in 4 months

During the four months this year, there are 280 agencies that failed to submit the workers’ particulars or submitted incomplete documents, according to Safe Migration.
From January to April 2024, the department asked for the personal data of workers, and some complied, but according to the list prepared by Safe Migration, 67, 63, 78, and 72 agencies failed to submit in January, February, March and April, respectively.
These irresponsible agencies must complete the required information on the given forms without fail and will be notified with an official letter, it said.
In addition, the schedule from April to December 2023 must be filled out as per the prescribed form, and they were advised to make preparations.
On 9 June, it announced the list of 11 agencies that hadn’t submitted monthly summaries for May 2024 and four agencies that had not resubmitted the list as their forms did not match with the prescribed one despite the reply via email. In the announcement, the agencies were advised to return their licenses if they could not perform the tasks of an agency, and it was a burden for the department to deal with many agencies, warning that no remainder would be issued after the notification to pay fines, it said. — MT/ZN/ED
