Since it's my only day off I thought I would catch up on some new things before I hit the sack. Here is the link to the updated Kuwait Labor Laws manual.

It's a lot of reading so I will have to take my time reading it. I like to be up to date with regards to law although companies on Arifjan pick and choose which Kuwait laws they follow so we are SOL when it comes to rights. DO we go by Kuwaiti laws or U.S.

That's always the question.I just want Kuwaiti holidays, please.I must say that the indiansinkuwait website is pretty good with news and links to Ministries. Your company isn't necessarily picking and choosing which laws to follow. The Kuwait labor law clearly states if a company's head office is located in another company, then that company is allowed to follow its home country laws.

Unfinished Contract

Or, they have the option to follow the host country laws. Obviously it's more lucrative for a company to pay based on Kuwait overtime (1.25, etc) as opposed to the US law citing 1.5. So you will see fluctuations in which law is followed based on the 'bottom line'. It's a perfectly legal practice. I am presently working in a private company but there was an urgent hiring in another company that I tried to apply. Luckily I was accepted and signed a contract with them to start the work in next month.

I was not able to submit my resignation in my present job. It is like only a month notice to them that im quiting my job. Am I allowed to start work to another employer without my present employer's consent? My present company is telling me that i have to serve my 3 months but i dont like to work with them anymore.The new company that will hire me told me that I must start the work on the date we have agreed or else they find another applicant. Is it allowed that I will just pay my employer the remaining 2 months? I have served the company for 3 years already. Please I need an advice.Thank you.

AnonymousI am an American contractor working in Kuwait for 3 years now. I have Kuwaiti residency, Kuwaiti Drivers license and a Kuwaiti sponsor. I had to sign a letter that I later found out was a contract with the sponsor that said I work for him to get my residency but I don't work for hin and get my pay checks from my American company. The company I work for is a Subcontractor to ITT but does not follow Kuwaiti Law (No OT, No Holidays, No indemnity).

Any time I have asked why they don’t follow Kuwaiti Law they tell me it’s because they do not have an office or a presence in Kuwait like ITT does. I don’t think that is right and feel they have been operating here illegally? AnonymousI was notified that part of the Kuwait labor Law (Maybe article 77 or 78) states that if a first or second degree family member died, I would be able to get at least 3 days paid to travel out of country.My Aunt (a second-degree family member) died in April and ITT said because she isn't listed as an 'immediate family member' on their policy, I don't get any days. I had to leave the country on unpaid leave and I want to know my rights.I would like to know who is wrong here and if the company is suppose to follow these rules.Thank you.
