 Will employees' salaries be released before Eid al-Adha?

Baghdad Today - Baghdad

An official source in the Iraqi Ministry of Finance revealed today, Wednesday (June 5, 2024), the possibility of distributing the salaries of employees before Eid al-Adha.

The source told "Baghdad Today" that "there is no trend so far regarding the distribution of salaries of Iraqi state employees before Eid al-Adha, corresponding to (16) June."

He added that "the salaries of employees as well as retirees will be paid during the current month, on their normal date without any submission to do so, so there is no decision to do so by the Prime Minister or the Minister of Finance."

The Iraqi government was often accustomed to paying the salaries of state employees before the holidays if the holidays coincided with the last days of the month, or if the date of payment of salaries coincided in the middle of the holidays, which prompted the government to pay salaries a day or two before their date.

However, Eid al-Adha will start between 16 and 17 and end between 19 and 20, and the official working hours begin on Sunday, June 23, before the official salary date.
