Hi, I am Lisa and working in Kuwait as expat. My current company does not have an office in Kuwait however I manage the market there.
I have been working there for 5 years and plan to resign. Will I be eligible to recieve indemnity at the completion of 5 years when i resign even if my company's head office is not in Kuwait? Please help. Thank You

What is the treatment if the employer terminates the contract of the employee or the contract expires if the employee rendered service of less than 5 years? Will he be entitled to any end of service benefit indemnity?

What is the treatment if the employer terminates the contract of the employee or the contract expires if the employee rendered service of less than 5 years? Will he be entitled to any end of service benefit indemnity?

According to the Kuwait labor law. The worker shall be entitled to a 15 days remuneration for each of the first five years of service and one month remuneration for every year thereafter.

CASE 1:

If the employer terminates the contract or if the duration of the contract expired without being renewed then the worker should get full end of service benefit indemnity.

Example:

If you have worked for 10 years with 500 KD salary the end of service benefit indemnity is calculated as below.

1st five years 15 days x 5 = (75 days / 26 days) = 2.88 months.

Next five years 1 month x 5 = 5 months.

Total Months = 2.88 + 5 = 7.88 months

Total Service Benefit = 7.88 months x 500 KD = 3940 KD

CASE 2:

If the employee resigns after 3 to 5 years of service then the employee is entitled to get half of the end of service benefit indemnity.

Example:

If you resign and have worked for 4 years with 500 KD salary the end of service benefit indemnity is calculated as below.

Total months = 15 days x 4 = (60 days / 26 days) = 2.3 months.

Total Service Benefit = 2.3 months x 500 KD = 1150 KD / 2 = 575 KD


CASE 3:

If the employee resigns and worked more than 5 years and less than 10 years then the employee is entitled to 2/3 rd of the end of service benefit indemnity.

Example:

If you resign and have worked for 7 years with 500 KD salary the end of service benefit indemnity is calculated as below.

1st five years 15 days x 5 = (75 days / 26 days) = 2.88 months.

Next 2 years 1 month x 2 = 2 months.

Total Months = 2.88 + 2 = 4.88 months

Total Service Benefit = 4.88 months x 500 KD = 2440 KD x 2/3 = 1626.66 KD


CASE 4:

If the employee resigns and worked more than 10 years then the worker is entitled to get full end of service benefit indemnity.

Example:

If you resign and have worked for 13 years with 500 KD salary the end of service benefit indemnity is calculated as below.

1st five years 15 days x 5 = (75 days / 26 days) = 2.88 months.

Next 8 years 1 month x 8 = 8 months.

Total Months = 2.88 + 8 = 10.88 months

Total Service Benefit = 10.88 months x 500 KD = 5440 KD
