Arrears and salary deductions as financial entitlements of the region's employees:
In the election campaign in Septrmber 2018 political parties campaigned for the return of salary arrears and opening accounts for salaried employees. With the inauguration of the ninth cabinet salaried employees were waiting for the return of their salary arrears, but this cabinet invented a new innovation called (salary deduction).

This is despite the fact that in 2020, a record number of non-payment of salaries was recorded. Regarding the financial entitlements of the salaried employees that are the responsibility of the Kurdistan Regional Government, only in the ninth cabinet is more than (9 trillion) dinars.
The period of salary arrears was held during the eighth cabinet of the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) headed by Nechirvan Barzani.
However, in the ninth cabinet, the issue of salaries entered a new stage, which was the invention of salary deductions instead of savings.

In this cabinet, the salaries of the months (4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 11, 12 of 2020) were not paid, (9) salaries with a deduction of (21%) and a salary with a deduction of (18%) has been paid to the employees in the years (2021 - 2022).
Therefore, if we estimate the total salary expenditure at (900 billion) dinars monthly, then the total financial entitlements of salaried employees in the ninth cabinet has not been paid to them is;

• (7) months of salary cuts X (900 billion) dinars = (6 trillion 300 billion) dinars
• (9) months with deduction of (21%) X (189 billion) dinars = (1 trillion 701 billion) dinars
• (1) month with deduction of (18%) X (162 billion) dinars = (162 billion) dinars
• Currently, the month of June (2023) has passed, but the salaries have not been distributed, which is more than (900 billion dinars).

Therefore, the total amount of unpaid salaries in the ninth cabinet is; (6 trillion 300 billion) dinars "7 full salaries" + (1 trillion 701 billion) dinars "9 salaries with 21% deduction" + (162 billion) dinars "1 salary with 18% deduction" + (900 billion) dinars salaries  of June 2023 = (9 trillion 63 billion) dinars.
