Payroll frequency

In Uzbekistan, employees are typically paid on a monthly basis, with salaries disbursed in arrears on a fixed, predetermined date specified in the employment contract or workplace regulations. The Labor Code mandates that remuneration must be paid at least once a month, ensuring regular income for employees. 

In addition to regular monthly wages, employees may receive additional compensation such as bonuses or incentives. These payments are often stipulated in collective bargaining agreements or internal company policies and are disbursed according to the terms outlined therein. Employers are required to adhere to the agreed-upon schedules for these payments to maintain compliance with labor regulations.
