    • The worker deserves 15 days indemnity during the first five years, and increases to one month after the first five years.
    • An employee who resigns, but does not complete three years with the employer, does not deserve an indemnity.
    • But if the employee completes three to five years and resigns, the employee then deserves half of the indemnity, if he completes five to 10 years, then he deserves two-thirds of the indemnity.
    • If the worker completes 10 years of work then resigns, he deserves full indemnity which is one month salary for each year spent at work, according to Article 51 of Labor Law in the private sector, and should not exceed 18 months.

What is Remuneration ?

“Remuneration means the basic payment the worker receives or should receive in consideration of his work in addition to all the elements stipulated in the contract or the employer by-laws. “Without prejudice to the social allowance and the children’s allowance granted by the virtue of Law 19 of the year 2000, the remuneration shall include the payments made to the worker on periodic basis such as bonuses, benefits, allowances, grants, endowments or cash benefits”. According to the Kuwait Labor Law, must be calculated according to your remuneration and not on your basic pay.

    Hi,I started working April 2017 as Household service working.And finished my contract for 2years but I extended for one year, so I’d been in my employer for 3years. I decided to go home. I was in my country for 2years. And just last May 2022 I came back in my employer. And signed again a 2years contract. My question is, will I be able to claim my indemnity from 3years of service before and this additional 2years that will end in 2024? And how much indemnity will I get if I claim it. My salary is still 120kwd.

    Dear Sir/ Madam;

    Good Afternoon;
    I need to know of how much the indemnity I will received working in the company of 7 years & 6 months.My salary right now
    is kd 550.00
    I asked the HR it is very less the amount given compared the google calculation in arab times.
    they calculate like this;
    5 yers @ 15 days = 75 x 2/3 = 50 days
    2 yers & 6 months.. not given

    Your quick response is highly appreciated.

    • Hariharan Krishnan says:

      Your Amount due should have been calculated like beow (If they Terminate you)
      First 5 Year (550/26*15)*5 = 1586.538
      Next 2.5 years = 550*2.5=1375.000
      Total amount due = 2961.538

      If you had resigned then you should get 2961.538*2/3=1974.359

  15. Myriam Remolacio says:

    Sir iam a domestc helper and working 28yrs in one employer can get imdemnity to my employer?

  16. Leonardo says:

    Its not fair so whats the different between 2 employee if the other one is resign but in 5yrs also and the other one is finished the contract for 5yrs, and why its almost half of the imdemnity difference to each one? But in terms of working tenure they had the same 5yrs. Of working period.so its very unfair like us before working almost 13hrs. Or morethan a day with out payment for over time. Hoping you understand our workers.

  17. f S says:

    I believe a new law entitles an employee who resigns after one year of service to half a month’s salary. Can someone please confirm? Thank you.

  18. Jeevan says:

    Calculation is wrong.
    While drafting the law, the law makers intended for the benefits of workers. Minor misinterpretations in the law which might not noticed while drafting the rules. Salary in Kuwait per month is for 26 days. Clause 1 says 15 days as they intended as half of the salary.

    So the worker should get maximum benefits in interpreting a labor law which is not clear. Not to the employers.

    Take an example of 10 year completed worker.

    clauses:
    1.The worker deserves 15 days indemnity during the first five years, and increases to one month after the first five years.
    2.An employee who resigns, but does not complete three years with the employer, does not deserve an indemnity.
    3.But if the employee completes three to five years and resigns, the employee then deserves half of the indemnity, if he completes five to 10 years, then he deserves two-thirds of the indemnity.
    4.If the worker completes 10 years of work then resigns, he deserves full indemnity which is one month salary for each year spent at work, according to Article 51 of Labor Law in the private sector, and should not exceed 18 months.

    Now Suppose a 10.1 years of serviced person’s calculation. Only clause 4 is valid in his case as the fist 3 clauses automatically cancels in view of his 10 years of service. Because he completed 10 years and resigns (clause 4). so clause foe solely valid here. So ten months full salary should be applicable to him. Some greedy / unknowing managements try to deduct fraction of indemnity of first 5 years which is not correct. They depend on clause 1 and try to add with clause 4. The argument is that first 5 years are included in the total service and after 5 years only one full month is applicable. Its not correct. If so why they are not considering clause 3 which is giving half of indemnity? So So the clause supersedes all the previous points (cluses 1-3) and only 4 is legally valid.

  19. Sarvan says:

    I had completed 9 months only and my project finished but 1year visa.its elegible for indemnity?

    Pls tell me and my salary is 400kd

  20. KHAN says:

  53. Krig79 says:

    If one is terminated by employer that last should pay 3 months grace period with indemnities when cancelling or transferring residency or on a monthly basis?

  54. Calculator is wrong here or may be i misinterpret it. Last line in rules explains that “If the worker completes 10 years of work then resigns, he deserves full indemnity which is one month salary for each year spent at work, according to Article 51 of Labor Law in the private sector, and should not exceed 18 months.” but if you calculate it both weather you resign or no calculation shows first 5 years 15 days salary per year and remaining years 1 month salary per year

    example : your salary if 800 and worked for 18 years. Amount should be 800 x 18 = 14400 K.D.
    but your calculator shows Indemnity amount 12707.692
    Please check and update your calculator or change the rules.

    • Mohammed says:

      I am not 100% sure about the article but below is what i know;

      First 5 years : 1/2 Salary (800KWD/2 = 400 KWD, 5 years x 400 KWD = 2000 KWD)
      Rest of the years : Full Salary (800 KWD x 13 years = 10400 KWD)
      Total Indemnity For 18 Years = 12400KWD (The calculator is showing almost the near value)

  55. Nirav says:

    I started with 150 till 3 years.
    Then 200 for next 2 years and finally reached 500 for 1 year..
    How can i calculate indemnity total??

    • Mohammed says:

      Your indemnity will be calculated as per your current salary. After full 6 years of service below are the options;
      If you resign : 1293.577 KWD
      If got terminated : 1942.308 KWD

    how much my indemnity on completed 5 years on my previous company. my salary is 185 k.d. for 12 hours duty until completing my 5 years contract.

  58. Mirza says:

    staff salary 615 worked 20.5 years.

    1st five years comes 1774.038

    2nd Step (18-5) = 13 * 615 = 7995

    balance 2.5 * 615 = 1537.5

    Total = 11306.538 is it correct calculation for 18 years Indemnity or not.

  59. Mirza says:

    if the employee terminated within three years, will he get the Indemnity or not?

  73. 20 yrs of experience and become sick , and died . Is she eligible for the indemnity?

  74. Calculation is wrong. Example a person earns 80 kwd , worked for 18 years.

    80 * 2.5 = 200 ( 1 – 5 years )
    80 * 13 = 1040 ( 5 – 18 years )

    Total —– 1240 .

    The app calculates 1270.769 . Which is totally wrong. Its my believe that they have taken 26 days as a whole month which is wrong.
