Saudi Arabia’s labor ministry will launch the 12th phase of the wage protection program on November 1, 2017, the ministry spokesman Khaled Aba Al-Khail said.

 

 The new scheme will apply to companies that employ between 40 and 59 workers.

 

The number of companies covered in this phase is estimated at 14,300 with a total workforce of 687,600, Aba Al-Khail added.

 

The program, which was first introduced in August 2013, applies to private sector firms and also aims to improve transparency around wages across the Kingdom, Argaam earlier reported.
