The Indian government was reportedly in talks with the Saudi government to obtain delayed salaries. The French embassy intervened to resolve the problem for French employees; around 200 French employees were suing Saudi Oger through the French courts. At least 31,000 foreign and Saudi employees had lodged complaints with the Labor and Social Ministry, who reported that it had applied fines and penalties to Saudi Oger over the labour violations. A Ministry spokesperson stated that restrictions around preventing workers for transferring sponsorship to another employer, renewing residence permits and leaving the country were eased. The Ministry took over provision of basic services at several camps where Saudi Oger had stopped supplying food, electricity, medical aid and maintenance. 50 local companies offered to provide Saudi Oger workers with employment. In January 2023, the Government of the Philippines announced ongoing negotiations for the unpaid salaries of over 10,000 Filipino construction workers in Saudi Arabia.

In May 2023, the Department of Migrant Workers updated that 14,000 former overseas Filipino workers may be declared eligible for back wages once the host government validates their qualifications. In August 2023, Migrante Philippines critiqued the Department of Migrant Workers for giving the OFWs false hope of getting their salary back before the end of the year. Migrante called for greater transparency from the government. The workers are still waiting for their back wages.
