Caretaker Labour Minister Lamia Yammine said on Friday September 4th that she had issued a standard unified contract that “enshrines the rights” of the foreign workers. In a tweet, Yammine stated she has terminated the project to subject domestic service to the Lebanese labor law so that they obtain their contractual rights and “benefit from the broadest social protection.”
Under the new contract, Article 1 requires that all employers and migrant domestic workers should adopt their standard work contract. Article 2 raises that this decision shall be effective as of September 21st, 2020, two days ago by now.
