Bahrain’s Labour Law may see a significant change soon if MP Jalal Kadhem’s proposed amendment to Article 50 is approved. This amendment aims to set a minimum shift allowance of 10 per cent for workers engaged in night shifts and on-call roles in the private sector. Kadhem emphasizes the importance of fairness in ensuring that workers receive additional compensation for the toll that night shifts can take on their physical and mental well-being.

The proposed amendment seeks to address the lack of a specific minimum allowance for workers in such roles under the current Labour Law. By setting a clear standard of at least 10 per cent on top of their basic pay, the amendment aims to recognize and value the demands and challenges that come with working irregular hours. This move is in line with Bahrain’s Constitution, particularly Article 13, which calls for fairness in working conditions and job opportunities for citizens.

Kadhem’s proposal highlights the widespread use of shift systems across various industries in Bahrain and the need for a set allowance to alleviate the strains associated with such work. The amendment’s ultimate goal is to uphold fairness and ensure that workers who endure the hardships of night shifts and on-call duties are properly compensated and valued for their contributions.

The next step for the proposed amendment involves a review by Parliament’s specialized committee. If the committee approves it, the amendment will be passed to the government for drafting into law. This potential change in the Labour Law underscores the government’s commitment to fulfilling its constitutional duty of guaranteeing fair working conditions and job opportunities for Bahraini workers.

Implementing a minimum shift allowance for night and on-call workers in the private sector is a crucial step towards promoting fairness and better standards of living for employees. By recognizing the challenges and sacrifices made by workers in such roles, Bahrain is moving towards ensuring that their contributions are not only acknowledged but also adequately rewarded.

In conclusion, MP Jalal Kadhem’s proposed amendment to Article 50 of Bahrain’s Labour Law represents a significant step towards enhancing the rights and well-being of workers in night shifts and on-call positions. By setting a minimum shift allowance of 10 per cent, the amendment seeks to address long-standing fairness concerns and provide a clear standard for compensation in these roles. As the proposal moves through the legislative process, Bahrain is poised to strengthen worker protection and uphold the principles of fairness and equality in the workplace.
