UAE issues decree to ensure workers are paid on time
Violating companies can face fines of up to Dhs 50,000 and a ban on new work
permits
The United Arab Emirates has issued a new decree to ensure that employees
are fully paid on time, the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation
announced on Tuesday.
Employers will have a maximum of 10 days from the due date as registered in
the wage protection system to pay their staff under the new regulation.
The decree will come into force in October 2016, official news agency WAM
reported.
Minister of Human Resources and Emiratisation Saqr bin Ghobash Saeed Ghobash
said that companies that violate the rule will not be granted any additional
work permits from the 16th day from the date of delay.
“Two main things should be considered in this matter: firstly, salary delays
occur usually if the company fails to pay wages a month from the due date.
The second, which refers to completely refraining wages, starts after
entering into the second month,” Ghobash said.
“The decree shall refer to each case in a different matter,” he explained.
If a company delays wages by one month from the due date, the ministry shall
inform the judicial authorities to take the necessary punitive measures
against it, prohibiting the employer from registering any new companies or
work permits.
Meanwhile if a company continues to refrain from paying wages, the ministry
will use the bank guarantee, downgrade the company and enable the workers to
move to another company.
“If the company fails to pay wages for 60 days from the due date, then
administrative fines shall follow, not forgetting the punishments that had
been already meted out for failing to pay wages a month from the due date,”
Ghobash added.
Fines will start from Dhs 5,000 for every worker’s delayed wage and reach up
to Dhs 50,000 in cases that include multiple workers complaining about
delayed wages for over 60 days.
However, the ministry also said that if companies pay the wages during the
first delayed month, the ban on new work permits will be lifted.
The ban will last for 60 days for companies that fail to pay wages for more
than two months. But if a company frequently refrains from paying salaries,
the ban duration will double.
The decree also states that the ministry shall not deal with companies that
do not register for the wage protection system. It will also stop dealing
with the owners of these companies until they register in the system to
ensure that workers’ rights have been met, the WAM report added.
