    End-of-Service & Arbitrary Dismissal in Kuwait: Your Rights (2026)

    Arabic-language reference guide to end-of-service indemnity and arbitrary dismissal in Kuwait under Labour Law No. 6 of 2010 (Arts. 44, 46, 51, 53). General legal information, not legal advice — verify with Kuwaiti counsel or PAM.

    In Kuwait, end-of-service indemnity under Article 51 is 10 days' remuneration per year for the first five years and 15 days after for daily/hourly workers (capped at one year's pay), and 15 days per year for the first five years then one month per year for monthly-paid workers (capped at 1.5 years' pay). Resignation tiers under Article 53: nothing under 3 years, half from 3–5, two-thirds from 5–10, full after 10. Notice (Art. 44) is 3 months for monthly-paid workers. Disputes go to PAM (hotline 103). Verify figures with counsel.

    Frequently asked questions

    Am I entitled to end-of-service indemnity if I resign after 4 years in Kuwait?

    Partly. Under Article 53 of Kuwait Labour Law No. 6 of 2010, a worker who completes between 3 and under 5 years and then resigns is entitled to half of the indemnity calculated under Article 51.

    How is end-of-service indemnity calculated in Kuwait?

    Under Article 51, for monthly-paid workers it is 15 days' remuneration per year for the first five years and one month per year thereafter (capped at 1.5 years' pay). For daily/hourly workers it is 10 days per year for the first five years and 15 days after (capped at one year's pay).

    Is there a fixed compensation for arbitrary dismissal in Kuwait?

    No fixed amount is set in the law. If a dismissal is found arbitrary, the court awards end-of-service indemnity plus compensation for material and moral damages, assessed case by case (Articles 46/41). Fixed-term early termination is capped at the remaining term (Article 47).
