Now No More delayed Salaries, Just Pay On-time

KUWAIT CITY, Sept 14: Acting Director General of the Public Authority for Manpower (PAM) Rabab Al-Osaimi says strict measures will soon be enforced, including halting the processing of employers’ files that fail to transfer workers’ salaries to their bank accounts. This step is a fundamental pillar in protecting workers’ rights and promoting a fair work environment.

The announcement was made during a meeting organized by PAM with the Kuwait Banking Association to discuss developing a mechanism for transferring workers’ salaries through the “Sahel for Companies” and “Sahel for Banks” platforms. The goal is to establish the highest standards of accuracy and efficiency in ensuring employers transfer workers’ salaries within the specified deadlines. Director of the Inspection Department Dr. Fahad Al-Murad attended the meeting.

During the meeting, Al-Osaimi stressed the importance of submitting payroll files via “Sahel for Banks” according to approved procedures to enhance transparency and safeguard the labor market. She affirmed the need to integrate efforts and build a true partnership with the banking sector to support the state’s efforts to protect workers’ rights and provide a safe and fair work environment, in line with the “New Kuwait 2035” vision.
