Kuwait Court of Cassation principle number 1113

State of Kuwait · Administrative Law · Ministry of Justice — Court of Cassation — Technical Office

English translation of the principle

Withdrawal of the decision terminating an employee's service for absence, although resulting in the employment relationship being regarded as subsisting and the period of service as continuous, does not result in the employee's entitlement to receive his salary for the period of his absence from work as an effect of the withdrawing decision, unless this constitutes compensation in accordance with the established rules governing the administration's liability for its unlawful administrative decisions. The reason for this: salary is consideration for the performance of work. - 328 - Administrative
Arabic original
سحب قرار إنهاء خدمة الموظف للانقطاع وإن كان يترتب عليه اعتبار العلاقة الوظيفية قائمة ومدة الخدمة متصلة إلا انه لا يترتب عليه أحقية الموظف في تقاضي راتبه عن فترة انقطاعه عن العمل كأثر من آثار القرار الساحب إلا أن يكون ذلك تعويضاً وفقاً للقواعد المقررة في مسئولية الإدارة عن قراراتها الإدارية المخالفة للقانون. علة ذلك: أن المرتب هو مقابل أداء العمل. - ٣٢٨ - الإداري
