As part of its mandate, the SLBFE implements a stringent licensing system for those who have fulfilled the requirement as per the provisions of the SLBFE Act to ensure fair and ethical practices in the recruitment and placement of workers abroad. A License which is issued for a recruitment agency is valid for a period of one year and renewable.
The primary objective of licensing recruitment agencies by the SLBFE is to safeguard the interests of Sri Lankan migrant workers. By imposing strict regulations and licensing requirements, the SLBFE aims to ensure that recruitment agencies comply with ethical standards, adhere to legal frameworks, and protect the rights and well-being of workers throughout the migration process.
