Migrant employees may need identity documents and resources to access assistance or move to safety. Employers and recruiters can take the following actions:

  • Returning any identity documents as soon as possible, at no cost and without reservation;
  • Paying outstanding wages when migrants want to leave the host State in the context of a crisis; Relocating, evacuating, or repatriating migrant employees, including family members, or contributing to covering these costs;
  • Communicating with consular posts to coordinate relocation and evacuation.
