KUWAIT CITY, Feb 5: The government will issue its decision on the special report of the Civil Service Commission (CSC) concerning the raise in salaries of Kuwaiti employees in the public and private sectors as well as retirees by up to 35 percent of the basic salary, which excludes those who have already got their increment, reports Al-Watan Arabic daily.

The report of the CSC does not include increases for employees in the management of investigations and legal, which were identified by between 50 percent and 75 percent of the allowance of the judiciary.

Meanwhile, the Civil Service Commission (CSC) has submitted two studies to the government on the salary scale for Kuwaitis working in the government and private sector companies, reports Al-Shahed daily.

The first study shows the CSC has cut down on exaggerated material demands of some employees while the second study shows the CSC has included a comprehensive increment for all state employees.

The sources also said the CSC, in the meantime, has approved many allowances such as adequate car allowance for employees driving for work in their own vehicle, risk allowance and screen allowance for computer users.

The sources pointed out the minimum allowance will be KD 200. However, the Cabinet is reportedly reluctant to take a decision and has thrown the ball in the court of the new government which is expected to be formed shortly.
