By the discovery of oil in the State of
Kuwait as well as the social, econom-
ic and political changes that had re-
sulted and accompanied this discov-
ery, new types of labour had
emerged. Therefore, it was natural
for the legislator to work for organiz-
ing these types of labour in such a
way that shall be consistent with th
nature of these new labours and be
compliant with the spirit of work and
copes with the modern renaissance
and boom that began to prevail in the
different aspects of life in the coun-
try. Hence, the competent persons be-
gan to think of the necessity of issu-

ing a law for the private sector labour
in order to regulate the relationship
between labourers and employers be-
cause this will have positive effects
on the Gross Domestic Product
(GDP) on one hand, and coping with
the global attitudes for taking care of
the working class, on the other hand.
The first law for organizing labour in
Kuwait had come out in the year
1959. Then, this law was amended
by virtue of the Amiri Decree No.
(43) of 1960 and thereafter the Law
No. (1) of 1961 until it has been can-
celled by virtue of the Law No. (38)
of 1964 on the Private Sector Labour.
This law had been subject to several
amendments that aimed at securing
special privileges to the labourers
who are working in the oil sector by
virtue of the Law No. (43) of 1968
that added a new Chapter to this law
under Chapter Sixteen concerning the
employment of labourers in the oil
industry. Then, the Law No. (28) of
1969 was issued for canceling and re-
placing this Chapter for regulating
the necessary benefits for Oil Sector-
labourers.
Consequently, the basic law that gov-

HRK-SRC-021F734599679_KWT83616 English 2.pdf KW-LAW-2010-6-MEM-EN-S0012تمت مطابقة النص بالمصدر
erns the labour relations is the Law
No. (38) of 1964 concerning the Pri-
vate Sector Labour. Regarding the
Law No. (28) of 1969, it concerns
particularly the oil labour sector
within the limits of the definitions
and provisions stipulated in this law,
and all other kinds of labour shall be
applicable to the Private Sector La-
bour Law being the general law that
regulates the relationship between the
two parties of production in this sec-
tor.
Due to the fact that the labour law
has always been targeting a basic aim
that intended to make a fair balance
between the interests of labourers
and their protection on one hand, and
that of the employers on the other
hand, due to the positive effects of
this balance on the Gross Domestic
Product in general.
Now, the Kuwaiti arena has wit-
nessed new developments, social and
economic changes that necessitate
the introduction of a new approach to
the amendments of the existing law.
Also, both the Arab and international
arenas have witnessed many develop-
ments that cannot possibly be ig-

HRK-SRC-021F734599679_KWT83616 English 2.pdf KW-LAW-2010-6-MEM-EN-S0013تمت مطابقة النص بالمصدر
nored especially that the State of Ku-
wait is one of the foreign labour
force recruiting countries. For all
these reasons, the urgent necessity
has arisen for amending the current
Law No. (38) of 1964 so as to ac-
commodate and cope with the new
developments, particularly that this
law has been under enforcement for
more than thirty years.
While thinking seriously to amend
this law, two attitudes have emerged
– the first one aims at amending cer-
tain provisions of the current Law in
such a way that complies with the
new developments of the economic
and social changes, and thereafter the
amendments can come successively
whenever there is a need to such
modifications.
As for the second attitude, that ob-
tained the views of the majority of
supporters, aims at issuing a new law
which shall be compliant with the
circumstances of the current stage in-
cluding the new emerging develop-
ments, provided that there should be
taken into consideration upon prepar-
ing the draft of the law the future am-
bitions and realization of the intend-

ed goals through the replacement of
the expatriate labour force by the na-
tional labour force - whenever it can
be possible - and this is one of the
main objectives of the State that
should finally be achieved.
The Ministry of Social Affairs & La-
bour has drafted the bill of the at-
tached law in the light of a compres-
sive approach for the labour laws in
the region as well as the International
& Arab Labour Agreements besides
the most recent jurisprudent attitudes
and the judicial principles set forth
by the Kuwaiti judiciary in the cur-
rent law.
Accordingly, several successive com-
mittees have been formed from the
Ministry representatives, employers
who are represented by the Kuwait
Chamber of Commerce & Industry,
and the labourers who are represent-
ed by the General Federation for Ku-
wait Employees for thoroughly ex-
amining and scrutinizing this law.
These committees have carefully dis-
cussed the draft, amended and re-
worded certain articles through many
sessions until the law has been ap-
proved in its semi-final copy which

has adopted a future approach and
avoided any aspects of shortage or
omission in the current law in order
to put the State of Kuwait in its right
position among those countries with
advanced labour legislations.
Therefore, for the purposes of preva-
lent benefits and realizing the same
goal intended by the legislators to-
wards arriving at the grade of perfec-
tion, the concerned parties have de-
cided to poll the opinion of the
related governmental authorities rep-
resented by the Public Authority for
Housing Care, Ministry of Com-
merce & Industry, Higher Council
for Planning & Development, Minis-
try of Health, Ministry of Justice,
Ministry of Oil, Kuwait Municipali-
ty, Kuwait University, the Public In-
stitution for Social Security, the Pub-
lic Authority for Applied Education
& Training and the Civil Service
Commission (General Secretariat for
Labour force).
A special committee has been estab-
lished for conducting the necessary
contacts and correspondences with
those authorities and providing them
with the semi-final copy of the draft

law, receive their replies and make
the necessary final review in the light
of the received answers. The re-
sponse of those authorities and their
efforts were all positive where the
committee has been provided with
valuable proposals which are appre-
ciated by the committee and consid-
ered, the thing that has resulted in the
proof reading of the draft law articles
one by one together with re-wording
the necessary articles thereof in the
light of those suggestions as well as
adding new articles or paragraphs
thereto.
The Ministry of Social Affairs & La-
bour, due to its keenness to cope with
the contents of the International
Agreements on labour, especially
those agreements to which the State
of Kuwait has acceded or ratified, the
Ministry has sought the assistance of
the International Labour Organiza-
tion (ILO) within the framework of
the technical aid provided by the ILO
to the Member States and whose ex-
perts have assisted in reviewing cer-
tain provisions of the draft law and
arranged its chapters in such a man-
ner that it is issued in its final current

form.
The draft of this law comes in seven
chapters, Chapter One is about the
General Provisions; Chapter Two
regulates the Employment, Appren-
ticeship & Vocational Training Pro-
visions; Chapter Three is on the Indi-
vidual Employment Contract;
Chapter Four on Labour Conditions
& System; Chapter Five on Collec-
tive Labour Relations; Chapter Six
on Labour Inspection & Penalties;
and finally Chapter Seven is on the
Concluding Provisions.
In all the foregoing, the draft of the
law has developed new rules & regu-
lations which are deemed necessary
by the legislator comprising more
guarantees to the both parties of pro-
duction in such a manner that ensures
justice and stability in labour rela-
tions in the country and also secures
that these rules & regulations will
cope with similar legislations appli-
cable abroad, especially the Interna-
tional & Arab Agreements duly rati-
fied by the State of Kuwait.
Hereunder we will shed light on the
articles of the law according to the
order of its chapters:

defined "The Competent Minister"
by the Ministry of Social Affairs &

term like "Labourer", "Employer"
and the concept of "Organization".

Article (2) has specified the scope of
enforcement of the law when it de-
cided that it shall be applicable to the
labourers in the private sector. In this
meaning, the definitions assigned to
each of the "Labourer" and the "Em-
ployer" in Article 1 should be consid-
ered so that what is meant by the ex-
pression "the labourers in the private
sector" can be defined clearly.

Also, Article (4) provides for the ap-

Article (5) has exempted the labour-
ers whose relationships with their
employers are regulated by other
laws. Regarding the Domestic La-
bourers, i.e. house servants or maids
and the like, this Article has referred
the governing of the relationship be-
tween them and their employers to a
decision to be issued by the compe-
tent Minister for organizing their af-
fairs in this respect.

Article (6) acknowledges a principal
rule which is duly prescribed in juris-
prudence and the judiciary and being
codified by most of the modern legis-
lations. That is to say the provisions
of this law, including all the rights
and benefits stipulated for labourers
therein, represent the minimum limit
مرجع مشترك — قد يناقش عدة مواد أو فصلاً كاملاً.
HRK-SRC-021F734599679_KWT83616 English 2.pdf KW-LAW-2010-6-MEM-EN-S0027تمت مطابقة النص بالمصدر
for labourers' rights which shall not
be assigned and any agreement to the
contrary will be deemed as null and
void. As for the better rights and ben-
efits stipulated in collective or indi-
vidual employment contracts or the
applicable rules & regulations by the
employers that exceed what is pro-
vided for in this law, they should be
enforced and labourers shall be treat-
ed accordingly.
In other words, since the rights and
benefits prescribed for labourers in
this law represent the minimum limit
secured for them by the legislator, no
agreement may be made for affecting
these rights unless such agreement is
more beneficial to labourers, whether
the agreement is made upon entering
into or during the validity of the con-
tract. This is for the purpose of cop-
ing with the spirit of legislation relat-
ed to the public interest on one hand,
and also in implementation to a defi-
nitely confirmed fact that the human
psyche has but to hate anything that
reduces its rights after being pre-
scribed.

goal of the state to gradually replace

try without having them to work for
him or if it becomes proven that he is
not actually in need of them.
Furthermore, this Article bans em-

cruitment of foreign labour force
more than what is needed on one
hand, and for regulating the labour
market on the other hand, by having
every labourer to work for the em-
ployer who recruited him.
Accordingly, this Article prescribed
that the employer is to bear the ex-
penses for returning the labourer
bach home. Also, the Article binds
the Ministry if the employer`s appli-
cation for recruiting foreign labour
force is rejected, such rejection
should be justified; and that the capi-
tal amount should not be taken as a
cause for such rejection, for ensuring
the best supervision over the perfor-
mance of the government in the event
of the
rejection.

this Article explains the cases in
which a labourer shall be entitled to
the end of service indemnity upon his
termination. Morover, it gives the ter-
minated labourer the right to appeal
the termination decision before the
competent Labour Circuit. If it is
proved that the employer has termi-
nated the labourer in an arbitrary
way, he shall be entitled to an end of
service indemnity and compensation
for the damages incurred by him as a
result of such termination. Further-
more, this Article binds the employ-
er, in all cases, to inform the Ministry
by the termination decision and its
causes, and the latter shall advise the
Labour force Restructuring Program
accordingly.

Article (51) provides for the end of
service indemnity due for labourers
working on monthly salary basis as
well as the other classes. For the first
class, this Article decides fifteen-

of the first five years and thereafter
one month salary for every year of
the following years provided that the
total indemnity shall not exceed one
and a half year wage.

ten day wage, for every one year ser-
vice of the first five years and a fif-

provided that the total indemnity
shall not exceed a year wage. The
Article prescribes in both cases that

fractions of the year in proportion to
the period of service he spent in the
work; and binds the employer to pay
the net difference between the
amounts he affords against the la-

end of service indemnity.

employer to return to the labourer
any documents or certificates which
may be submitted by him.

However, the wage shall include the

ance as per the Law No. (19) of 2000
or any other financial privileges
granted by the state to the labourer

Moreover, this Article has added a
new provision for dealing with the
wage when it is a share of the net
profits and stipulated at the end of
this Article that if a labourer wage is
fixed as a share of the net profit and
the firm did not realize profit or real-
ized a very few profit so that the la-
bourer’s share becomes not consis-
tent with the work performed by him,
then his wage should be estimated on
the basis of a similar wage or accord-
ingto the prevailing customs in this
profession or for justice require-
ments.

Article (33) of the Law No. (38) of
1964 is amended which was stipulat-
ed as "A labourer manot be made to
work for more than 8 hours per day
or 48 hours a week" where the opin-
ion is different about the optional

the possibility of increasing the num-
ber of the daily working hours to
more than 8 hours when it is satisfied
by the maximum limit of the working
hours by 48 hours a week. So, for fi-
nalizing this debate, the views came
to the conclusion that the old text

Accordingly, Article (64) pus it in a
decisive way that the labourers`
working hours shall be 48 hours per
week and the daily working hours
shall not exceed 8 hours except in the
cases provided for in the law. This is
in order to stick to the opinion which
says that the labourer should be pro-
tected in every day of his working
days, and therefore stipulates that the
daily working hours should not be
more than 8 hours save within the
limits of the exceptions stipulated in
the law.
Also, this Article has introduced a
new provision which stipulates that
the working hours during the holy
month of Ramadan shall be 36 hours
a week.
Moreover, the same article provides
that the working hours of hard la-
bour, health harmful labour and haz-
ard labour or for hard conditions may
be reduced by a decision from the
Minister.

ter, labourers may be made to work
without any break for technical or

or meeting such works more than the

the overtime working hours per day,
week and per year; and that the addi-
tional work periods shall be added by
25% of ordinary wage for the same
period and the employer is bound to

work.
Article (67) gives the labourer the
right to one fully paid weekly rest
day which shall be fixed by 24 con-
tinuous hours after every six worked
days. However an employer, for the
work requirements and necessity,
may make a labourer to work during
his weekly rest day if the work condi-
tions so requires. In this case, the la-

his wage in addition to the original
wage and he shall be compensated

Article (113) puts it as an obligation
that the collective employment con-
tract should be a limited period con-
tract provided that its term shall not
be more than 3 years. If the two con-
tract parties have continue to imple-

term, then it should maintain its ca-

one year period under the same con-

contains special conditions that con-

stipulated in this text.

Article (115) sets forth an important
guarantee represented by the nullity
of any condition in this contract if it
violates any provisions stipulated in
the articles of this law except those
conditions that comprise such rights
or privileges in the law which are
more beneficial to the labourers, as a

Also, this Article provides that any
conditions or agreement signed be-

law under which the labourer waivers
any right granted by this law shall be
deemed null and void. Also, any rec-

Although the collective employment
contract, like an individual employ-

Further, the second paragraph of the

receipt of such objection, otherwise,

Article (123) defines the collective or
group labour conflicts as those dis-
putes arising between one or more
employers and all his labourers or
some of them because of labour or
work conditions. Thus, this text has
widened the collective dispute con-
cept so as to be deemed as such if it

arises because of the work and is not
restricted only to just the conditions,
as in Article (88) of the Law No. (38)
of 1964 where the disputes were
deemed as individual even if they are
filed by all the labourers or part of
them if the labour relation still exists
so long as the cause of the dispute or
conflict is related to a certain provi-
sion in the law or the contract.
Therefore, the legislator is quite keen
that the dispute shall bear the collec-
tive description even if the cause of
the dispute is referred to the labour it-
self and not related only to its condi-
tions, as per the manner explained
hereinabove. This is in order to
achieve a stable environment in la-
bour relations whether at the firm, in-
dustry or level or the similar activity
or at the national level, by solving
this dispute and removing its causes
within a short time period. Also, this
will reduce the resort to the courts
and intends to minimize the number
of court judgments looked into be-
fore courts.

sions of Article (57) herein.
Also, the legislator, due to its belief
on the controlling role carried out by
the Ministry on the firms so as to
make sure to what extent they ob-
serve the rules, regulations and meas-
ures of occupational health & safety
as well as the Ministerial Decisions
issued for the implementation of the
same, it has stipulated in Article
(140) a penalty against whoever fails

lation and the prescribed punishment

lates that whoever violates the writ of

dingto the provisions of Article 135
herein without remedying the contra-
ventions notified to him by the com-
petent employees, shall be punished
by imprisonment for a period not ex-
ceeding six month and a fine not
more than KD 1000/-, or with one of
the two penalties.

Article (442) of the Civil Code, along
with all the warranties provided for
therein to the cases and lawsuits filed
by the labourers. This is contrary to
what was applicable in the light of

1964, where Article (144) of this law
stipulates that the actions filed by the
labourers under the provisions of this
law, after the lapse of one year from

the employment contract expiry date
shall not be heard.
Upon denial, the provision of para-
graph (2) of Article (442) of the Civil
Code shall be applicable, where the
employer who sticks to not hearing
the lawsuit must give oath that he has
actually settled the debt to the labour-
er. If he is a heir or legal representa-
tive of the debtor or for his heirs, he
shall perform the oath that he has no
knowledge of such debt or he knows
that it has been settled. This oath
shall be taken by the court spontane-
ously without being demanded to do
so.
Finally, the same Article provides in
its last paragraph that the actions
filed by labourers or their beneficiar-
ies shall be exempted from the judi-
cial fees. However, the court - upon
rejecting such actions – may bind the
party who files the case to pay all or
part of the expenses. Labour cases
shall be looked into forthwith on
prompt summary basis.
