Day Laborers’ Wage Bid

Ali Khalifa, a member of the House of Representatives representing the Justice Party, has introduced a bill to regulate daily, temporary, seasonal and occasional workers. It stipulates that workers’ pay must be no less than the statutory minimum wage, calculated on a daily or hourly basis according to the nature of the work. The bill requires the hiring entity to pay daily workers no later than the end of the workday, unless an agreed periodic payment arrangement is more favorable to the worker. It also requires the entity to issue a receipt showing the days and hours worked, wages, deductions and net amount due. The bill sets rules for transporting workers and prohibits carrying them in vehicles not designed or licensed to transport people.
