Kuwait Court of Cassation principle number 4264

The worker’s right to annual leave concerns public policy. His waiver of it, expressly or implicitly. Impermissible. The employer’s obligation to grant him that leave even if he does not request it. The employer’s breach of this obligation gives rise to another obligation to compensate him unless it is extinguished by limitation. The burden of proving that the worker took his leave rests upon the employer.
