borkenaDecember 5,2018After three weeks of controversy, the Ministry of Labour & Social Affairs has bestowed domestic workers’ insurance coverage, estimated at 300 million Br, to United Insurance. The signing was planned to take place three weeks ago but was suspended as competing insurance companies filed grievances over the tender procedure. Once the agreements with these countries are sealed, the remaining insurance companies in the country will have a chance to provide insurance coverage for domestic workers. The ministry is providing training to employees in order to minimize risk for the insurance company. The latest action of the Ministry was hiring an insurance company that will insure the life of the projected one million overseas workers.
