Riyadh - The Shura Council rejected a proposal which mandates the Ministry of Labor and Social Development to determine the work and wages on an hourly basis instead of the routine monthly basis in the private sector.
The proposal, mooted by a member, Dr. Fahd Juma, was turned down by the Council through a majority vote.
The Council called upon the ministry to launch an initiative aimed at taking care of the children of martyrs and to provide them with support till they become self-reliant.
It also called on the ministry to include a detailed plan about the employment agency and the role it has to play to address unemployment in its next reports.
