Safety & fair work

Last updated 18 September 2026

For helpers

• Meet in a public place first where possible, or bring a friend to the first interview.
• Never hand over your passport or identity documents to anyone — an employer never needs to keep them.
• Agree duties, working hours, days off and salary clearly before starting — in writing if you can.
• Trust your instincts. If something feels wrong, leave and report the profile to us.
• No one may charge you a fee for a "transfer" of your sponsorship, and you must never pay money for a person. That is not a legitimate transfer — it is a scam or worse. Refuse and report it to us.

For families

• Verify references and experience yourself — we display what helpers tell us, and beyond checking that their phone number is a real mobile number we do not vet anyone.
• Make sure any engagement complies with the employment and immigration laws of the Sultanate of Oman — fair pay, reasonable hours, proper conditions.
• Never withhold a worker's documents or wages.

Zero tolerance: exploitation & trafficking

We have zero tolerance for human trafficking, debt bondage, document retention, deceptive recruitment, the sale or "transfer" of workers, or any form of exploitation. Profiles or accounts involved are removed and, where appropriate, reported to the authorities. If you or someone you know is in danger or being exploited in Oman, call:

• Royal Oman Police (emergency): 9999
• Ministry of Labour call centre: 80077000

See something suspicious on this site? Every profile and job has a report button — use it. We review every report.
