The complainant alleged the company stopped paying their salary without reason for five months before terminating the contract. The court ordered the employer to pay 62,867 dirhams ($17,116) and 39,200 of the ecowatt (EWT) cryptocurrency, as unpaid dues. The token’s value on different price-tracking websites varies widely, making it difficult to value the payment in dollar terms.
