Kuwait Court of Cassation principle number 723

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

English translation of the principle

The absence of work by an employee because he is on authorized leave. Its effect. His efficiency during the leave period is assessed by carrying forward the last report he received before the leave. This is not altered by the Personnel Bureau’s circular that efficiency assessment is to take place after returning and resuming work. The reason therefor. The Civil Service Council alone is competent to issue interpretations binding on authorities; consequently, this assessment has no binding force.
Arabic original
عدم وجود عمل للموظف بسبب قيامه بإجازة مصرح بها. أثره. تقدر كفاءته خلال فترة الإجازة باستصحاب آخر تقرير حصل عليه قبل الإجازة. لا يغير من ذلك تعميم ديوان الموظفين بأن تقييم الكفاءة يكون بعد العودة ومباشرة العمل. علة ذلك. أن مجلس الخدمة المدنية هو المختص وحده بإصدار التفسيرات الملزمة للجهات ومن ثم لا يكون لهذا التقييم أي إلزام.
