If not issued within 15 days, it will be considered overdue
As many as 5,832 workers in Abu Dhabi received Dh42.8 million in unpaid wages following the intervention of the Labour Court.
According to MOHRE, if a worker’s wages are not paid within 15 days before the due date, it is considered a late payment, unless the work contract provides for a shorter period.
The ministry said employers must pay workers on time as contractually agreed and should comply with the Wage Protection System (WPS) which is designed to increase worker productivity and ensure a stable relationship between the two parties.
Penalties for violators depend on the number of workers in the facility.
The Abu Dhabi Labour Court said it successfully resolved a labour dispute between workers and their employers in record time in two months.
The court took swift legal steps to register the claim, hear the case and make a judgment, and expedite enforcement, and finally handed the aforementioned fees to the labor camp workers by post.
The Abu Dhabi Judiciary Department (ADJD) authorities uphold the importance of resolving cases quickly, while ensuring the quality and accuracy of sentencing.
It is in line with this policy to resolve labor cases, especially collective cases, as soon as possible, and to facilitate payment of owed workers at their place of residence.
This is part of the UAE’s commitment to upholding workers’ rights and providing them with the necessary protections under the rule of law.
The Labour Court also commended the efforts of all relevant agencies such as the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MOHRE) in addressing the conditions of workers wishing to change companies.
