How to Report a Labour-Law Violation to MOHRE
Report a suspected labour-market violation to MOHRE without confusing a public report with a personal claim for salary or employment rights.
Start with the right authority
MOHRE accepts reports about suspected violations within its labour-market remit. A report helps the ministry inspect or investigate a practice; it does not automatically recover an individual worker’s money or replace a formal labour complaint. If you need wages, cancellation or another personal remedy, use the matching dispute service as well.
Step by step
1. Choose the right type of case
Distinguish a public-interest report from an employment dispute. Urgent danger, trafficking or a criminal act may also require police or another competent authority.
2. Record facts, not rumours
Note the establishment name, location, dates, people involved and what you directly observed. Preserve lawful documents or photographs without entering restricted premises.
3. Use MOHRE’s official channel
Submit through the ministry service, app or contact channel shown on the current service page. Give enough detail for the authority to locate the establishment and conduct.
4. Keep your own rights moving
Save the reference. If you are personally affected, check the separate deadline and evidence rules for a labour complaint instead of waiting for the report outcome.
Important: Do not publish accusations, personal data or workplace documents on social media. Give evidence to the competent authority and avoid exaggeration.
Before you act
MOHRE’s directory includes a public reporting channel for violations related to its responsibilities. The ministry determines confidentiality, investigation and any enforcement action.
