Companies may be forced to pay mandatory transport allowances to all employees if plans to amend an employment law receive the go-ahead.
Private sector workers would receive no less than BD15 under a new legislative push by MP Jalal Kadhem Al Mahfoodh to help offset cost-of-living increases.
He has submitted a draft amendment to the 2012 Employment in The Private Sector Law yesterday that would make a payment compulsory, unless transport is already provided by the company.
