The Kuwaiti Government Offers Cash-for-holidays To All Employees
A Kuwaiti media cited a source in Kuwait's state Civil Service Commission for its report saying that Kuwaiti workers, including expats, can receive cash for their unused vacation time.
Kuwait issued a decree last April allowing unused holiday balances to be repaid to employees.
The Al Anba media reported that certain conditions must be met by candidates in order to be eligible for the program.
A civil servant must have worked for at least five years and have at least 30 days of holiday leave remaining before the end of the year. Also required are excellent performance evaluation reports in the employee's last two evaluation reports.
According to the source, after applications are approved by employment institutions, the ministries review them before referring them to the Finance Ministry.
According to a parliamentary proposal by Kuwait's government, employees can be paid for unused holidays as of February, after the government promised to change a civil service law.
There is no information available as to how many of the 4.6 million employees in the country would benefit from the scheme.
Kuwait has a total population of nearly 3.5 million foreigners.
