With the Ombudsman's Assistance, Labour Rights Restored: Employees Reinstated and Wage Arrears Recovered
A.H., a resident of Chartak District in Namangan Region, appealed to the Commissioner of the Oliy Majlis for Human Rights (Ombudsman), claiming that his labour rights had been violated. According to the applicant, the enterprise where he had worked had failed to pay his salary for more than one year, accumulating wage arrears exceeding UZS 30 million. The complaint was reviewed by the Ombudsman's Regional Representative in Namangan Region.

To protect the applicant's rights, the Ombudsman filed a claim with the Yangikurgan Inter-District Civil Court seeking recovery of the unpaid wages and other related payments.

The court granted the Ombudsman's claim, and the applicant has now received the full amount of his outstanding wages.

Another complaint was submitted by D.I., a resident of Samarkand Region. She stated that she had worked for many years as a laboratory technician at a family polyclinic but had been asked to submit a resignation letter due to staff reductions after being promised that she would later be rehired. However, she was not offered a new position and remained unemployed.

Following a review of the complaint, the Ombudsman's Regional Representative in Samarkand Region sent an official letter to the family polyclinic in support of the applicant's rights.

As a result, the applicant was offered a suitable position and reinstated to employment.

Under Uzbekistan's labour legislation, employers are required to provide employees with the work stipulated in their employment contracts, pay wages in full and on time, ensure safe working conditions, and compensate employees for damage to their health resulting from occupational injuries or work-related diseases.
