Licensed recruitment offices act as an intermediary between the employer and the incoming worker (domestic or otherwise), bearing specific obligations: delivering the agreed worker on time, matching the worker's specifications to what was agreed, and handling replacement or cancellation according to clear terms. Failing any of these obligations opens the door for the employer to claim compensation or recover fees paid.

The Ministry of Human Resources provides an official track for filing complaints against private recruitment offices through its electronic platforms, with follow-up on the complaint's status through to resolution. Precisely documenting every interaction with the office (contracts, payment receipts, correspondence about the requested worker's specifications) considerably strengthens your position when filing the complaint.
If the employer doesn't receive the worker within 15 days of being notified of their arrival, or a material difference emerges between the worker's actual specifications and what was agreed, a right arises to claim a refund of fees or demand a worker replacement at no additional cost, per the terms of the contract signed with the office.
