| In accordance with Art. 1 of this decision, all establishments registered at the Ministry shall pay its workers at least once a month or as stipulated in the work contract. They shall also provide proof of payment of wages to the Ministry.
Art. 2, which came into effect on 1/9/2009, requires all establishments to transfer the wages of its workers to banks and financial institutions within the country using the Wages Protection System (WPS). The penalty for establishments which do not follow the requirements of article 2 within the deadline periods specified in article 3, is the suspension of all new work permits until all wages have been transferred (Art. 4).
