Legal services
Once you arrive in an overseas country, you are entitled to enjoy the rights the country offers. However, the country expects you to follow the rules and regulations to maintain law and order. Gulf countries are slightly different in offering the same rights to the migrant worker but they are protected from exploitation and harmful conditions by the Labour laws. You should know your limitations and rights when you work under a sponsor. What are the best practices? What rights do I have? How can you protect yourself? What limitations do you have in terms of challenging the odd practice? Are you in trouble? Contact our legal desk.

UK
The UK is one of the best countries promoting human rights and equality. You are entitled to enjoy the rights the country offers once you enter unless it is specified in your visa. Please read carefully the induction guide that FANDS Associates provided prior to your departure. There are so many resources available to understand the best practices. Your employer will give you a handbook of the company you work with. Always ask your manager if you are not sure about anything related to work practices rather than challenging. You will have to attend mandatory training by law regardless of your knowledge. For example, you might be a nurse in the country you are coming from but it is mandatory to attend the training and get the certificate before administering medication in the Care Home. Are you concerned? Contact our legal desk.
