The Ministry of Youth and Sports has voiced concerns that their investigations show some companies do not pay the mandatory Ramadan allowance to members of its staff.
They further stated that even among those companies that do pay the allowance, some fail to follow the guidelines defined in the Employment Act.
According to the act, every Muslim employee must be paid one third of their salary as Ramadan allowance. If the amount is below MVR 2000, employers must pay a minimum of MVR2000. If the amount exceeds MVR10,000, then employers must pay only up to MVR10,000.
The ministry called on all private companies to follow the law and pay the allowance as defined in the regulations.
