In cases of non-eligibility, the associated reasons will be displayed based on approved data and regulations, allowing employees to clearly understand their status regarding the bonus and facilitating inquiry procedures.
The Ministry added that the electronic appeals service will be announced on its official website after the disbursement of excellent performance bonuses is completed, enabling employees to submit their appeals electronically. These appeals will be reviewed and studied by the competent authorities in accordance with approved conditions, regulations, and procedures.
The Ministry of Education concluded by reaffirming its continued efforts to complete procedures related to financial entitlements for employees, in recognition of their efforts in supporting the educational process and improving its outcomes. It emphasized its commitment to finalizing disbursement procedures, depositing bonuses into the bank accounts of entitled individuals, and providing electronic services that help employees access information regarding their financial entitlements.
