Description:
The Ministry of Human Resources and
Emiratisation launched an innovative electronic system, through which companies
can pay the wages of its workers through the financial exchange companies that
provide the service. This program was successfully developed by the Central
Bank using a technology that allows the ministry to establish a database of
information on wage payments for workers in the private sector and the extent
of the operating establishments' commitment to pay wages in the agreed time and
amount. The Wages Protection System (WPS) covers all establishments registered
with the Ministry in various sectors and activities, and all segments and
categories of workers benefit from the system.
The system allows the opportunity to
report any complaint related to salaries/wage payment in the private sector. Workers
and employees can communicate with the Ministry of Human Resources and
Emiratisation and submit a labour complaint to the Ministry in this regard.
The ministry calls on
private sector establishments to commit to paying their workers' wages through
the "wage protection system" on the scheduled dates, and sends a comprehensive interactive
report to employers via e-mail to inform
them proactively of the facility's status in the ministry's records, ensuring
that they receive first-hand data and information related to the files of their
establishments and the status of their workers, as ensuring the establishments'
commitment to pay wages on time would enhance the stability of the contractual
relationship between its two parties and contribute greatly to increasing the
worker's productivity. Ensuring employees' wages are received at the specified
time and amount, building balanced and stable relationships between employers
and workers, and supporting the workers' right to receive wages in return for their
commitment to perform their job duties, all signify the compliance with legal
practices in the country's labour market.
The Ministry of Human
Resources and Emiratisation calls on all employers to register and document any
agreement with their employees regarding the change of wages through the
approved systems and procedures applied by the Ministry in this regard, and to
benefit from the "statement of account" service to view the report that
provides them with a comprehensive description of the facility's status on paid
wages through the wages protection system, which helps them with the transfer
of wages through the system on time
Goal:
The Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation's call on private
sector establishments to commit to paying their employees' wages through the
wage protection system in a timely manner, enhancing the stability of the
contractual relationship between its two parties and enhancing the productivity
of workers.
