The Tamkeen Center for Legal Aid and Human Rights revealed in its last report that migrant workers in beauty salons did not receive their wages, part of which covering their support to their families in their home countries.
According to the report they were unable to pay the rent of their housing, and meet their living needs, because the employers refused to pay their wages, under the pretext that they depend on their work to cover their wages.
Although the Minister of Labor announced from the beginning of the pandemic that employers in the private sector have committed to paying workers’ wages for the month of March, some did not abide by this commitment.
Workers face difficulty in the way they receive their wages, which the Minister announced will be through the electronic wallet, because most of them do not have smart phones, or subscriptions to the Internet, and that wallet data is only available in Arabic and English, while most of them only master their mother tongue (Asian and African languages).
