Kuwait Employers Get New Tool For Wage Transparency With Digital Salary Tracking System
Public Authority for Manpower follows up on the electronic worker needs platform implementation.

KUWAIT CITY, Oct 13: The Public Authority for Manpower (PAM) urged employers to familiarize themselves with the mechanism for using the salary tracking system on the ‘Ashal’ portal for companies. This mechanism allows employers to enter salary shortages and document the associated legal reasons.

PAM affirmed that this step is in line with its efforts to ensure that employers are committed to paying salaries on time and guaranteeing transparency in the workplace. In an introductory video on social media, PAM explained that the system allows employers to access the main file of the company to search for workers -- whether registered in the general file or working on a specific government contract.

Through the system, employers can view details like the number of workers in the month of salary transfer, the number of shortages, and the status of fulfillment for each case. PAM added that the system provides options to determine the reason for not transferring the salary or deduction, with the ability to attach supporting documents for each case through the portal, thereby easing the review and documentation process and enhancing data accuracy. It went on to say that the system allows the identification of workers for whom the reason for salary non-transfer or deduction was not entered, ascertaining that all required data are complete, thus, improving the efficiency of salary tracking and adherence to approved labor standards.
