Abstract

The Saudi government intends to enhance the private sector working environment and to make it more attractive to potential employees by establishing rules and programs like the Wages Protection System, which aims to monitor procedures for paying employees’ salaries; a private company will be founded in the near future for the same reason. This paper examines the rules for paying employees’ wages in the private sector, in particular, the issue of not paying their wages by the date due, and how the Saudi Labour Law and the Wages Protection System deal with the issue, to reveal whether there is a need to reform the current approach. The paper analyses mainly legal materials related to Saudi Labour Law such as books, the courts judgments published by the Commission for the Settlement of Labour Disputes in Saudi Arabia and relative information provided on the web sites of The Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development. In brief, this study suggests amending the current approaches relevant to this issue, as there are various weaknesses and concerns that have been identified in the approaches adopted in Saudi Labour Law to dealing with the delayed payment of workers’ salaries.

根据沙特劳动法保护员工工资:我们应该做得更多吗?
沙特政府打算改善私营部门的工作环境,并通过制定旨在监督员工工资支付程序的工资保护系统(Wages Protection System)等规则和项目,使其对潜在员工更具吸引力;出于同样的原因,不久的将来会成立一家私人公司。本文研究了私营部门支付员工工资的规则,特别是未在到期日期支付工资的问题,以及沙特劳动法和工资保护制度如何处理这一问题,以揭示是否需要改革目前的方法。本文主要分析了与沙特劳动法相关的法律材料,如书籍、沙特阿拉伯劳资纠纷解决委员会公布的法院判决以及人力资源和社会发展部网站上提供的相关信息。简而言之,这项研究建议修改目前与这一问题有关的办法,因为在沙特《劳动法》中处理延迟支付工人工资的办法中发现了各种弱点和关切。
