  "summary": "The Ministry of Labour in Liberia's Nimba County has ordered Ganta United Methodist Hospital to pay salary arrears to its employees, following an investigation that found some workers were being paid below the legally required minimum wage. The hospital's salary structure was found to be inconsistent with Liberia's labor laws and the Decent Work Act of 2015, with some employees receiving salaries below the prescribed benchmark of US$143 monthly. The Labour Office has given the hospital 30 days to settle all outstanding salary arrears and bring its compensation structure into compliance with labor laws and the Decent Work Act.",
