Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development (MHRSD) has intensified efforts to ensure transparent and fair wage practices in the private sector. Under the Wage Protection Program, managed by the Mudad payroll compliance platform, unreasonable salaries, excessive deductions, and salary delays now trigger violation alerts and inspection visits. This initiative holds employers accountable and aims to protect workers’ rights effectively. Notably, employees can transfer jobs without employer consent if salaries are delayed for over three months, with non-compliant employers facing service suspensions, thus promoting transparency and worker empowerment.
