RIYADH: The Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development has announced the launch of the fourth phase of its electronic salary transfer service for domestic workers through approved official platforms.

This initiative, which started operating on Oct. 1, marks a significant step toward safeguarding the salary-related rights of domestic workers and enhancing transparency in the contractual relationship between employers and employees.

The ministry says that this phase targets employers with two or more domestic workers, building on the previous phases.

The second phase, launched in January, covered employers with four or more domestic workers, while the third phase, initiated in July, focused on those with three or more. The service is expected to be fully rolled out to all domestic workers by Jan. 1.

The electronic salary transfer service through the Musaned platform is a crucial step in ensuring reliable wage payments by utilizing approved official channels, such as digital wallets and participating banks.

Key advantages of the service include documenting regular salary payments to workers, facilitating regulatory procedures upon contract termination or the worker’s travel, and enabling salary transfers to workers’ families in their home countries through official, secure channels.
