KUWAIT CITY, July 20: The delivery business remains subject to temporary file suspension pending verification of the companies’ commitment to transfer the salaries of their employees through banks, say sources from the Public Authority for Manpower (PAM). Sources confirmed to the newspaper that non-compliant companies will face an immediate suspension of their files.
Sources said the authority set the deadline for the settlement of the status of other companies, indicating that among the proposals currently being studied is starting with small companies in terms of the number of workers to quickly settle their files, and then gradually applying the procedures to larger companies not committed to the salary bank transfer directive. Sources hinted that certain activities may be initiated and divided into phases to avoid the negative impact of a mass suspension of all erring companies. They urged the concerned companies to be committed to transferring salaries through banks to protect the rights of the workers and avoid regulatory procedures.
