Perevet warns employment agencies agianst illicit operation

Employment Minister, Zacharie Pérevet has released a list of 175 temporary employment companies and private job-placement officers operating illegaly.

According to the cabinet member, these companies either no longer have valid authorization or are simply operating secretly.

Minister Pérévet has warned, “The heads of companies that use temporary labour to cease all professional relations with the organisations implicated in this issue.”

He is also threatening to impose fines on the employment agencies in question if the latter fail to comply with regulations in effect.

Illegality has visibly become pervasive among employment companies in Cameroon. Indeed, in September 2014, the Minister of Employment identified 150 temporary employment companies and private job-placement offices that were operating outside the regulations but the brandishing of threats of fines seems to have had little effect on them.
