Saudi schools penalised for flouting minimum wage rule

  • Saudi Arabia: Monday, December 10 - 2012 at 04:41

The Saudi education ministry has started penalising private schools that have failed to implement a royal decree granting a minimum monthly wage of SR5,600 to Saudi teachers, backdated from when they joined, Saudi Gazette has reported. Field teams from the ministry have been asked to examine contracts signed by the teachers and the schools who they work for and ensuring they were registered with the General Organisation for Social Insurance's (Gosi) pension system. Schools found in violation of the rules will, at first, be fined SR5,000 for every teacher working in the school, after which the ministry will ask the labour ministry to shut down the school by the end of the academic year.
