Poster on Minimum Wage Law of 1987 (Arabic)
The Minimum Wage Law obliges every workplace to ensure that employees are familiar with the law and informed about changes in the amount of the minimum wage. This regulation is rarely respected in the Arab society. At the same time, payment of less than minimum wage is customary and affects especially female employees. Kayan translated the law into Arabic and produced this poster, displaying key information about the minimum wage. Kayan sent the poster to Arab employers in the private sector, randomly chosen. An accompanying letter explained employers` obligation to inform about the law, and suggested to hang the poster as an easy way to meet this obligation.
