Kerala born businessman in UAE to pay salaries to his employees’ wives

  • | Thursday | 4th February, 2021

Roy was inspired by the Indian Supreme Court`s order in an accident case where it noted that the value of a housewife`s work is no less than her employed husband. He took a leaf out of this and decided to recognise the support of his employees` spouses during the tough time.  It was reported that Aries Group gives pension to the parents of his employees who have completed three years with the company. 

While many companies are yet to restore salary pay cuts during the Covid-19, there are entrepreneurs like Dr Sohan Roy who is willing to give a salary to wives of his employees for the commitment and work ethic shown during the pandemic.

Roy is a Sharjah-based businessman of Indian-origin who promotes Aries Group of Companies in the United Arab Emirates. In a rare gesture, the UAE-based entrepreneur said he will give a regular salary to wives of his employees for showing extraordinary commitment during the Covid-19 pandemic.

According to UAE-based news website Khaleej Times, Roy’s company is currently creating a database of the spouses of male employees in the company. The monthly salary will be decided based on the number of years an employee worked with the company, the report said. The salary for the wives of the employees of the company will be rolled out soon.

Roy, who hails from Kerala, had previously been featured as one of the top influential leaders in Middle East 2017, released by Forbes Middle East.

The founder and chairman of Aries Group of Companies reportedly said he decided to compensate the spouses of his employees for the support to the company as it weathered the Covid-19 challenge. Unlike many Aries Group reportedly did not sack any employees during the period.

Roy was inspired by the Indian Supreme Court`s order in an accident case where it noted that the value of a housewife`s work is no less than her employed husband. He took a leaf out of this and decided to recognise the support of his employees` spouses during the tough time.
