NEW METHODS FOR WORKERS' PROTECTION

  • 07/09/2022

Kuwait City: A new mechanism has been put into effect by the Public Authority for Manpower to guarantee the protection of the financial rights of both domestic and private sector workers. To make sure the worker receives all of his or her owed money, PAM departments are now requesting the worker's fingerprint on the work permit cancellation form. The same sources claimed that by taking this action, the conditions of the clearance between the employee and the employer would be finally met and the first party would receive its financial obligations. 


The form created by the authority and uploaded on the automated system, according to the sources, is in five different languages and is thought to carry the responsibility between the two parties, whether it be the employee or the employer. 

According to the sources, the Labor Relations Department of the Authority continues to receive complaints and labour observations on a daily basis in its various departments and works tirelessly to resolve any issues involving the worker and the employer as well as the application of the law. According to the sources, the work permit can only be revoked once the employee has been paid in full. If the worker's file is transferred to another employer, the transfer can be made in accordance with the regulations in effect with the authority. 

The sources revealed that the authority is about to launch an electronic system for following up on the mechanism of disbursing the salaries of workers in the private sector, both citizens and residents. The sources stated that the Authority’s Information Systems Department has recently developed a system for disbursing salaries for workers in the private sector, and it has been presented to the Inspection Department, pointing out that the developed system will be launched in an integrated manner and work through it to follow up on salary certificates and the extent of commitment to pay financial dues and apply regulations and penalties on those who do not comply via the Inspection Department.
