"The establishments’ commitment to pay wages on time would enhance the stability of the contractual relationship between its parties and greatly contribute to increasing the worker productivity as a result of paying the wages on time and in the specified amount," said Maher Al Obed, Assistant Under-Secretary for Inspection Affairs at MoHRE.

Al Obed also called on employers to register and document any agreement with their workers regarding the change of wages through the approved systems and procedures applied by MoHRE.
