The Ministry of Labour responds to a video clip circulating on social media depicting workers protesting and demanding wages from a number of private companies.

كما وصلني على الواتساب .

ياجماعة الخير ما يصير هذا الكلام هذولا بشر مثلنا ولولا الحاجة ما تغربوا ، عندهم اهل وعيال يصرفون عليهم . عطوهم رواتبهم وحاسبوا الشركات اللي تسببت في الفوضى هذي .
قال الرسول صلى الله عليه وسلم :" اعطوا الأجير أجره قبل ان يجف عرقة ."

The Ministry of Labor has confirmed that necessary legal action is being taken to ensure that the wage protection system is being implemented by the violating establishments.

The Wages Protection System (WPS) is an electronic system by the Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs and Qatar Central Bank that monitors and documents the process of worker wage according to the Labour Law No. (14) of 2004. This system ensures that workers receive their wages systematically and in a timely manner.
