Samoa announces revamp of the Recognised Seasonal Employer (RSE) policy

Samoa's Minister for Commerce, Industry and Labour has announced a revamp of the Recognised Seasonal Employer (RSE) policy.

The Samoa Observer reports the changes will allow district offices to select workers to join the seasonal programmes in Australia or New Zealand.

Leatinu'u Wayne So'oialo said currently village agents deal with the seasonal work companies, rather than the Government, and this was causing problems.
