The employment permit already contains a statement of the valuable new protections for migrant workers, including entitlement to the national minimum wage, the prohibition on the retention of personal documents and deduction of recruitment expenses. However, I am disposed to accept the Deputy's amendment that the permit, when issued, should be accompanied by a summary of the principal employment rights for the employee.
