Saudi Arabia begins next phase of wage protection program

01/08/2017 Argaam

Saudi Arabia’s labor ministry has launched the 11th phase of the wage protection program today, it said in a statement.

 

The latest measures will apply to companies which employ 60-79 workers.

 

The wage protection system aims to protect the rights of workers across industries and reduce the number of disputes between employers and staff, data compiled by Argaam showed. 

 

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