The huge wave of expectations aroused from the publication of Law No. 118, Foreign Investment Law, was retaken with its coming into force last June 28.<\/p>\n
This new legislation has been understood as an opening law, though there are some generalrestricting traits. In this sense, there is a recruitment agency, which means that any company interested in investing in Cuba and in hiring Cuban personnel cannot do it directly, but through this agency.<\/p>\n
Nonetheless, according to PhD. on Economic Sciences Carola Salas Couce, Cuban authorities affirm this is a \u201cnew kind of agency\u201d, in charge of watching over the compliance of current dispositions related to labor, the organization of employment processes, and the search for qualified personnel and of watching over the rights of Cuban workers.
\nAs stated by the specialist, the existence of a recruitment agency can be a positive element, even for foreign investors as long as they are able to control the issues its implementation aroused in the past, and doesn\u2019t become a simple mediator that would make hiring more expensive, increase costs and take over a portion of the salary of Cuban workers.<\/p>\n
As time passes by, the existence of such entities should be reassessed.<\/p>\n

The number of Cuban employees hired so far \u201cis not for public knowledge\u201d, stated the ZEDM\u2019s Office.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
