DMW tightens deployment measures to Kuwait
The Department of Migrant Workers (DMW) is implementing stricter deployment measures for OFWs bound for Kuwait in response to recent tragic cases involving Filipino workers.
Instead of a deployment ban, the DMW will enforce tighter screening processes for both OFWs and their prospective employers.
DMW Secretary Hans Leo Cacdac stated that the department will thoroughly vet the qualifications and backgrounds of potential employers.
The new 'Know Your Employer' requirement mandates a video call between OFWs and their prospective employers before departure.
This measure aims to address the issue where OFWs sign contracts with employers they do not know, which can lead to misunderstandings and conflicts.
