Minimum Wage System

By knoxcollege

I was wondering why doesn't Government comes up with a minimum wage/salary. If the Government makes it manadatory that every employee should be paid 10-15 riyals per hour and the salary has to go through the banks, the complain of non-payment and of very low salaries would go away automatically.
In this way the Government can check what the workers are being paid and whether they are being on time or not.

This is best solution under the current circumstances.

the salaries in Qatar should be the same as what people are getting in North America. Then it would be fair

The bare minimum would be:

6. Allow expat to change sponsorship easily.

7. Allow them to complain in concern authority

8. Do Not make two years ban system we

9. Fixed Minimum salary at least 300 $
