LRA allows employees to report unpaid Ramadan allowance

The Labour Relations Authority (LRA) has opened up the opportunity for Maldivian employees to register a complaint if they have not received the legally mandated Ramadan allowance.

According to the Employment Act, the Ramadan allowance must be paid to every Maldivian employee working in an establishment before the first day of every Ramadan. According to the law, a minimum of MVR 3,000 should be given as the Ramadan allowance.
