Their promise came at a meeting among the commerce ministry, BGMEA, BKMEA, BTMA and FBCCI at the secretariat in Dhaka on Thursday.
In order to ensure timely payment to the workers before the Eid, the business leaders sat with the home ministry, the labour ministry and the prime minister's principal secretary earlier in the day.
They assured that they will pay the wages and allowances on schedule.
BGMEA’s 15 monitoring committees are working with factory owners and the labour ministry, he said.
Every year, complications have been created over payment of the wage and festival bonus of industrial workers, especially garment workers.
As a result, workers took to the streets to demand back pay.
