The Department of Labor and Employment on Sunday said Qatar’s new “non-discriminatory minimum wage” is beneficial to overseas Filipino workers.
He said the government of Qatar adopted early last month Law No. 17 Series of 2020 setting the minimum wage for all workers of all nationalities in the private sector at 1,000 Qatari riyals equivalent to $274 or P13,325 in basic wage. The Labor chief said based on the report of the Philippine Overseas Labor Office in Qatar, the law also establishes a Minimum Wage Committee that will review the impact and application of the minimum wage, in consultation with different bodies, experts, workers, and employers.
He, however, stressed that OFWs who are already enjoying higher salaries and benefits need not worry as MADLSA gave an assurance that they will not be affected by the new law.
