ONE YEAR LIMITATION TO TEMPORARY GOVERNMENT WORK CONTRACTS

  • 26/01/2021

Kuwait City; The temporary government work contracts have  been   limited to one year which is  helpful for contractors seeking expat workers for emergency government projects .The  new limitation means that the  contract will  now be automatically cancelled after one year from the expiration date mentioned on the contract. This enters into force under a new rule to the set of regulations for work permits for employers as part of efforts by the Public Authority for Manpower (PAM) to fix the country’s demographics and outline a set of strong employment condition .

Other than this ,the contractor is obliged to attach a letter detailing the number of workers and the duration of the contract, and to register the contract with the Governmental Contracts and Projects Department .PAM has also defined regulations for filing absenteeism reports if employers find their worker’s missing.

In the event a worker has abstained from work for consecutive days without an excuse, the employer must inform the competent department after seven days from the date of absence to apply the prescribed measures, provided the notice from the worker obtained shall also be submitted to the concerned authorities in the Ministry of Interior within 15 days from the date of its receipt, otherwise it will be considered null and void.
