Al-Qattamin Pushes to Secure Delivery Workers' Social Protection

Minister of Transport and Labor Nidal Al Katamin affirmed that the government is reviewing mechanisms to protect workers in the smart application delivery sector to ensure their rights and align with the nature of the work. This sector is characterized by mobile employers, which causes ambiguity in the legal relationship. He explained that meetings have been held with the Social Security Corporation and delivery companies to develop a protection mechanism, with a proposed reduction of the social security contribution rates from 100% to between 25% and 75% to encourage registration and provide minimum protection in cases of injuries and disability. He pointed out that the issue is still under discussion and that the government will soon present fair solutions to regulate the conditions of workers in this sector, in line with the rapid development of smart application-based delivery services.
