‘Administrator appointment if companies fail to pay arrears of workers`

Labour and Employment Adviser Brigadier General (rtd) Dr M Sakhawat Hussain has said administrators will be appointed if companies fail to pay arrears of workers on time.

He said this while speaking at a view exchange meeting with the officers of the ministry on Tuesday.

Urging workers not to create public sufferings and to join their respective work places, Sakhawat said, “Keep trust on us. We can feel your pain. You will definitely get your dues.”

He urged the owners of different factories to pay the dues of workers properly. “Dues of workers must be paid. Your factory runs because of their tireless work,” he added.

The adviser said minimum wages announced by the government should be implemented in all factories. Legal action will be taken if anyone fails to implement the wage board, he added.
 
He urged all to work with transparency and honesty for the welfare of the workers and for the interest of the country.

Secretary of the ministry AHM Shafiquzzaman and high officials were present in the meeting.
