In December 2010, you realise the worker had been underpaid and you need to calculate national minimum wage arrears.

While wage arrears and layoffs are a big problem, weary resignation, not anger, seems to dominate.

The endemic wage arrears that plague the rest of the former Soviet Union are also starting to make their painful presence felt here.

Almost immediately, Souaré faced a crisis when violence erupted among soldiers demanding payment of wage arrears on May 26.

Such developments had a surprisingly positive impact on the gender pay gap, as women were less affected by wage arrears than men.

These wage arrears have become one of the biggest and most frequently voiced complaints against Mr. Yeltsin in the current campaign.

However, industries dominated by female workers had the lowest relative wages and were the ones most likely to be affected by wage arrears.

Most of the wage arrears for the miners, however, remain unpaid and just where the money will come to pay them is unclear.

On May 26, 2008, unrest broke out among the soldiers as they demanded their wage arrears.

It was suggested by some that the police, having witnessed the soldiers' successful pursuit of their wage arrears, were thus encouraged to take a similar course.
