“Oyutolgoi” has 400 million US dollar salary fund

An expert on “Oyutolgoi ” LLC, S.Gantuya, has claimed that there is huge difference between Mongolian and foreign staff salaries.

S.Gantuya claimed that “Currently over 700 Mongolians and 150 foreigners work in the Oyutolgoi office. Despite the fact that the qualifications and experience of Mongolian and foreign staff are at the same level, there is huge difference between their salaries. An ordinary Mongolian staff member who is an assistant to a manager earns 1500 US dollars a month, while an American or Canadian earns 5,000 US dollars per month. But the thing is that the responsibilities and schedules for these two staff are the same. It is unfair that an ordinary Mongolian staff member earns 1500 US dollar while foreign staff can earn an average of 30,000-120,000 US dollars per month. Basically Mongolian staff who work for Oyutolgoi were educated in developed countries such as US and UK and usually have Master and Doctorate degrees. But most foreign staff at Oyutolgoi only has bachelor degree. 

Oyutolgoi has a 400 million US dollar salary fund and only 10 percent of this is spent for Mongolian staff salaries. This is one example of Rio Tinto`s failure to evaluate Mongolians work ability. Rio Tinto has already pressured me to keep working because I sent them a notice.”
