The Ministry of Labour (MoL) will soon have the new labour law on its web site, said Qaseem Jameel, Head of the Inspection Department at the ministry.

The decision comes following the recent finding of the Inspection Department at the MoL, that nearly 90 per cent of the companies and workers in the country do not have any knowledge about the labour laws, and therefore, their legal rights and obligations.As per the new directives, firms will be fined if they do not have a copy of the labour law.
