Frequently asked questions

How much annual leave do Kuwait employees earn?

30 days per year once you complete 1 year of service, under Kuwait's Labour Law No. 6 of 2010.

Why is Kuwait's leave divisor 26, not 30?

Kuwait's daily-wage convention for leave (and indemnity) divides the monthly wage by 26 to reflect a 6-day working week, rather than a flat calendar-day divisor.

Can I get paid for unused leave while still working?

Employers may agree to encash unused leave during employment; it is also settled as part of your final dues if you leave the company.

Is Kuwait leave pay on basic or full wage?

Full monthly remuneration is generally used, consistent with how the same wage figure is used for Kuwait's end-of-service indemnity.
