12/10/2017 Argaam

 

Saudi Arabia’s labor ministry said 30 percent of establishments did not comply with the wage protection program, Al Madina newspaper reported, citing the ministry spokesman Khaled Aba Al-Khail.

 

The ministry is conducting evaluation and inspection to ensure payments are settled on time and eliminate related disputes.

  

The wage protection system aims to protect the rights of workers across industries and reduce the number of disputes between employers and staff.

 

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. 

 

Saudi Arabia’s labor ministry will launch the 12th phase of the wage protection program on November 1, 2017.

 

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