The Department of Migrant Workers (DMW) has released a reminder to Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) who would like to claim for their unpaid wages and salaries in Saudi Arabia.
In the Facebook post, the agency called for last minute submissions as the online portal nears its closing on Tuesday, January 31, 2023.
“Para sa mga Saudi OGER claimants, January 31, 2023 po ang deadline sa pag-update ng inyong impormasyon para sa inyong mga unpaid wages at salary claims,” reads the post.
The DMW has worked alongside the authorities of KSA in arranging the payment of the claims of more than 10,000 unpaid Filipino workers which are believed to have resulted from several construction companies who have filed for bankruptcy last 2015-2016.
