The Labour Market Regulatory Authority (LMRA) has launched the enhanced version of the Wages Protection System (WPS), aimed at safeguarding the rights of all work parties and ensuring that employee wages are paid on time, supporting contractual stability in the private sector.

H.E. Mr. Nibras Talib, Chief Executive Officer of LMRA and Chairman of the National Committee for Combatting Trafficking in Persons, affirmed that the Authority, in cooperation with the Central Bank of Bahrain, Bahrain’s Electronic Network for Financial Transactions (Benefit), and private sector partners, enhanced the WPS to meet the evolving needs of the labour market and enable private sector establishments to facilitate and documenting wage payments without the need for investment in separate financial systems.

He explained that the enhanced version of the system prioritizes the protection of employees’ rights and ensures their stability in a fair and safe work environment.

It also supports national companies in managing their financial and administrative operations, contributing to human resource management efficiency, reducing operational costs, and promoting the sustainability in private sector.
