Judicial principle — Kuwait Court of Cassation

Kuwait Court of Cassation principle number 4629

State of Kuwait · Commercial and Labour — Volume 9 · Ministry of Justice — Court of Cassation — Technical Office

English translation of the principle

The employer’s obligation under the old-age, disability, and death insurance scheme to pay the equivalent of the end-of-service gratuity and the amount of the increase if bound by more favorable pension, gratuity, or savings schemes. This does not detract from the employer’s obligation in respect of benefits granted to workers pursuant to a special scheme established by the employer. Claims for those benefits are directed against the employer directly.
Arabic original
التزام صاحب العمل في نظام تأمين الشيخوخة والعجز والوفاة بما يعادل مكافأة نهاية الخدمة وقيمة الزيادة إذا كان مرتبطاً بأنظمة معاشات أو مكافآت أو ادخار أفضل. لا ينال ذلك من التزامه بما يقرره للعاملين من مزايا بمقتضى ما ينشئه من نظام خاص. المطالبة بتلك المزايا توجه إليه مباشرة.
