on
On 17 August 2016, the Ministry of Labor and Vocational Training (MLVT) issued Prakas No. 352 on Using Online Labor Centralized Management System. This Prakas introduces a new system for investors, companies, factories, enterprises and institutions to record and manage their foreign workforce through the online system, via the link: www.fwcms.mlvt.gov.kh.
To use this new system there will be a service charge of $30 for each application of quota for foreign workers, in addition to the existing public service fee; and $30 to request for a new work permit/work book for a foreign worker, or extend an existing one, again, in addition to the existing public service fee. This online payment will be collected by E-Solutions (Cambodia) Co., Ltd and used for the following purposes:
- preparing a data system to manage new workforce;
- establishing a new structure and setting training requirements for officials to establish and run a new one-stop service for obtaining and registering work permits/work books;
- supporting and managing input data of Cambodian employment to record the level and the seniority of Cambodian employees;
- supporting the management system on work inspection and supplying portable electronic equipment to labor inspectors to improve the efficiency and quality of inspecting and monitoring working conditions;
- producing work permit/work book for foreigners, including delivery service; and
- constructing a one-stop service building to house this service.
