RIYADH: Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development has reduced the wage protection file upload period on the Mudad platform from 60 to 30 days, effective March 1.

Previously, establishments could upload files in a two month period, but they must now submit them within one month to ensure accuracy and compliance with wage agreements and payment timelines, the Saudi Press Agency reported on Monday.

The ministry made this change after a study found that 91 percent of establishments already upload wage files within 30 days.

The goal is to enhance compliance, ensure timely wage payments, and strengthen trust in the work environment, the SPA reported.

Establishments are urged to upload wage files on time and review Payroll Management System details to meet program requirements, support labor market stability, and protect workers’ rights.
