BOCA RATON, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--E-Monee.com, Inc. (E-Monee) (Pink Sheets:EMNC - News) previously announced that the government of Dubai had placed a mandate on all construction companies to have all expatriate workers on an electronic payment system by January 2008. This mandate has been extended to later in 2008, and E-Monee continues efforts to implement its systems in order to meet the extended deadline. Recently, his Excellency Dr. Ali bin Abdulla Al Ka'abi, UAE Minister of Labor, announced that the Ministry of Labor has been pushing for a service offering that provides a global financial service customized for the expatriate workers through various US companies. His Excellency Dr. Ali bin Abdulla Al Ka'abi said that, “We are happy to be working with US companies to provide all UAE employers and expatriate workers a secure, affordable, easy to use product. This will result in financial inclusion of the large under-banked population, which is certainly the need of the hour.” In addition to meeting the current mandate, E-Monee’s objective is to roll out this solution to all GCC countries, to enable the entire expatriate workforce servicing that area to benefit from this convenient and cost-effective technology, as far as securing their salaries and moving their money is concerned.
