Compensation for early termination of a fixed term...

We would like to inform you that If the company you work in has arbitrarily terminated you, you can file a complaint at the Ministry of Social Affairs, in order to seek compensation for the arbitrary dismissal. Also, your company can ban you and prevent you from working with another employer.

We believe that filing a complaint against the company is a good way to negotiate with the company in order to cancel the arbitrary dismissal decision and allow the transfer to another company in exchange for giving up the complaint if you wish.

Here is the text of Kuwait Labor Law relating to your inquiry:

Article (47)

If the contract of employment is fixed term and one of its parties terminated it without a right, it undertakes to compensate the other party for the damage he suffered, provided that the amount of the compensation does not exceed the equivalent of the wage of the worker for the remaining period of the contract The nature of the work, the nature of the work, the duration of the contract and, in general, all considerations affecting the damage in terms of its existence and extent shall be taken into account in determining the damage to the parties to the contract, and the amount of compensation that may be due to the other party shall be deducted from the amount of the debt.
