Kuwait City: The National Assembly’s health and social affairs committee agreed to increase annual leave in the private sector to 35 days from the current 30 as part of a number of amendments to the labour law, a lawmaker said.
MP Osama Al Shaheen said the amendment applies to both Kuwaitis and expatriates employed in the private sector, according to Kuwait Times.
The annual leave was raised to 30 days – not including Fridays – several years ago, when the labour law underwent major changes.
