Ergriffene Maßnahmen: By the time of reporting the Labour and Social Development Ministry had been made aware of the case, although the workers had initially been reluctant to report the salary delays. A representative told GDN that they can try to reach a settlement with the company, but that this process becomes more difficult when the workers delay. They stated that the ministry can blacklist companies who do not pay their workers on time, meaning they are unable to hire other employees or carry out their business.

Two more cases of non-payment of wages at companies in Bahrain are being investigated...
at least 600 expatriate employees at a construction company downed their tools last week, claiming they had not been paid for four months...
15 men working for a civil engineering and construction company’s portable buildings unit claimed they had not been paid for the past eight months.
In both the cases the employees said they had not officially registered complaints with labour officials “out of fear”...
The men [in the first case] have been engaged in major ongoing projects including Bapco refinery, Bapco Club, Awali Hospital staff quarters, military projects in Safra and Coastguard projects in Muharraq.
