The Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development (HRSD) announced updating standards for the quota of domestic labor for HR companies, pursuant to its decision issued on Jan. 6, 2025.

The decision came given the sector companies' performance and their ability to meet customer and market needs. This is by replacing the fixed domestic labor ratios with variable ones that depend on the business capacity and expansion plans, the ministry explained in a statement today, Jan. 8.

It is deemed positive for HR companies, as it enables them to focus on raising the quality of their services while meeting their customers’ needs. This shift in ratios gives companies greater flexibility to boost their businesses and services, it added.

The ministry also indicated that the decision factored in the sector’s focus on quality performance and enhancing the role of companies in regulating the domestic labor market. These services are being offered to individuals; hence they vary based on the packages offered, being on an hourly basis or through short- and long-term contracts.

According to the ministry, the decision entered into force as of Jan. 5, 2025.
