State labor inspectors continue their systematic efforts to ensure compliance with labor legislation and protect citizens’ labor rights. As a result of the measures taken, unpaid wages are being recovered for workers across the country’s regions, unlawful decisions by employers are being overturned, and violated labor rights are being restored.
In the Mangystau Region, wage arrears totaling 41.8 million tenge have been fully repaid to 101 employees of Aktau Machine-Building Complex LLP. The violation was identified during an inspection concerning unpaid wages for May–June 2026. Following the inspection, the employer was issued an order to rectify the identified violation. The outstanding wage arrears have now been fully settled.
In the same region, an unscheduled inspection of Yassy Service LLP revealed violations of overtime payment procedures. Following measures taken by the State Labor Inspectorate, a female employee received 290,000 tenge in outstanding payments.
In Almaty, measures taken resulted in the repayment of wage arrears totaling 162.1 million tenge to 117 employees of 64 enterprises. In particular, in October 2026, following an inspection and court proceedings, including an appeal, an employee of TotalEnergies Marketing Kazakhstan LLP received outstanding payments amounting to 89 million tenge.
Positive results have also been recorded in other regions. In the Akmola Region, state labor inspectors conducted an unscheduled inspection following a collective complaint from employees of Tlekei-Agro LLP. The inspection revealed wage arrears exceeding 18.1 million tenge owed to 27 employees. By the conclusion of the inspection, the employer had submitted documents confirming that the outstanding wages had been fully paid.
In the Zhambyl Region, an inspection of Sharapat School-Gymnasium–Kindergarten LLP identified wage arrears exceeding 6 million tenge owed to 24 employees for the period from August to November 2025. Following measures taken by the State Labor Inspectorate, the outstanding wages were fully paid within the prescribed period.
State labor inspectors are also taking measures to restore workers’ rights in cases of unlawful dismissal and unjustified disciplinary sanctions.
In the Turkestan Region, two school principals were reinstated to their previous positions after their employment contracts had been terminated in violation of established requirements. The inspection established that the dismissals of the employees, who were trade union members, had been carried out without obtaining the consent of the trade union organization, as required by the collective agreement. As a result of the measures taken, the identified violations were rectified, and the employees were reinstated to their positions.
