Article 30 of Decree-Law No. 15 of 1979 concerning the Civil Service

The employee shall be suspended from work in the following cases: 1 - If the interests of the investigation or the public interest so require. Suspension shall be by a reasoned decision for a period not exceeding three months, which may be extended for a similar period, upon the expiry of which he shall return to work. If the employee is suspended from work in the interests of the investigation, payment of half his salary shall be suspended and shall not be restored to him unless it is established that he is not responsible or he is punished by a warning or by a deduction from salary for a period not exceeding one week. 2 - If he is detained in the State of Kuwait in pretrial detention or in execution of a judicial judgment. Payment of half his salary shall be suspended in the case of pretrial detention, provided that it shall be restored to him if the investigation for which he was detained concludes that he is not responsible; otherwise, he shall be deprived of it. As for detention in execution of a judicial judgment, payment of three quarters of his salary shall be suspended if the judgment is not final, and shall not be restored to him unless the trial concludes that he is not responsible. In all cases, the employee shall be deprived of his salary for the period of his detention if it is in execution of a final judgment.
