Judicial principle — Kuwait Court of Cassation

Kuwait Court of Cassation principle number 4758

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

English translation of the principle

Under the insurance system, the employer is liable only for the equivalent of the end-of-service gratuity at the rates set out in the Private Sector Labour Law, in addition to the amount of the increase if he is bound by more favourable pension, gratuity or savings schemes. This does not detract from his obligation regarding other benefits he establishes for his workers.
Arabic original
صاحب العمل لا يلتزم في نظام التأمين إلا بما يعادل مكافأة نهاية الخدمة بالمعدلات الواردة بقانون العمل في القطاع الأهلي بالإضافة إلى قيمة الزيادة إذا كان مرتبطاً بأنظمة معاشات أو مكافآت أو ادخار أفضل. لا ينال ذلك من التزامه بما يقرره للعاملين لديه من مزايا أخرى.
