Hi. Im an expat working for private kuwaiti...

Dear Customer,                                                        

Thanks for joining and trusting us, much appreciated!

We would like to inform you that The Kuwaiti Labor Law stipulates that a worker who works under an indefinite contract, within a month, shall notify the employer three months prior to his desire to terminate the employment contract. This is confirmed by Article 44, which stipulates:

In the event where the term of the work contract is not specified, both parties shall have the right to terminate the same by means of a notice to the other party as follows:

a- Three months prior to the termination of the contract for the workers earning a monthly remuneration.

b- One month prior to the termination of the contract for other workers.

In the event where the party wishing to terminate the contract does not abide by the period of notice, he shall be obliged to pay the other party a compensation for the notification period equal to the remuneration of the worker for the same period.

c- In the event where the notification of termination is issued by the employer, the worker shall have the right to be absent one day or 8 hours per week in order to search for other work. He shall also be entitled to his remuneration for the day or hours of absence.

The worker shall decide on the day or hours of absence and shall notify the employer at least one day prior to such absence.

d- The employer may exempt the employee from work during the period of notification while but shall count such period within the worker’s period of service. The employer shall pay the worker all his entitlements and remuneration for the period of notification.
