Late salary payment

We paid salaries late this month. What are the consequences?

The situation

MOHRE tracks WPS payments. Late or missing payments can lead to warnings and blocks on issuing new work permits until salaries are paid.

The law

  • Wages Protection System rules under MOHRE: Monitoring of salary payments

What it means for you

Pay the outstanding salaries and keep the WPS confirmation. Repeat delays can escalate to fines. Example: a company that pays two weeks late once should pay now and fix its cash planning; repeated delays risk a block on new hires.

What to do

  1. Pay outstanding salaries through WPS.
  2. Keep confirmation.
  3. Tell staff the date.
  4. Fix cash flow planning.
