Kuwait Court of Cassation principle number 4822

Determining the timing of the worker's annual leave is within the authority of the employer, not the worker. - The worker's absence without a legitimate reason for more than seven consecutive days. Its effect. The employer may dismiss him without notice or gratuity. Assessment of the justification for dismissal. A matter of fact. Its condition. - The judgment's treating the worker's absence from work of his own volition and without the employer's approval as legitimate and as not constituting justification for his dismissal without gratuity. This vitiates it and requires its cassation.
