KUWAIT CITY, Dec 5: In a recent development, Bushra Shaaban, the Director General of the Public Authority for Manpower, Marzouq Al-Otaibi, has issued a decision to modify the provisions outlined in Administrative Resolution No. 842 of 2015 concerning the conditions for labor transfer between employers. The resolution initially prohibited the transfer of individuals employed by government agencies to the private sector. However, exceptions have now been introduced for three specific categories.
The amended decision permits the transfer of individuals falling under the following categories: spouses and children of Kuwaiti women, wives of Kuwaiti men, holders of Palestinian documents, and individuals with a university degree who are below the age of sixty. It is essential that the profession aligns with their qualifications and the nature of the positions they held within the government agency.
Furthermore, the Public Authority for Manpower reserves the right to establish controls pertaining to the prohibition of transfers for certain professions and specializations in accordance with the public interest. The effective date of this decision is from its issuance, and it will be officially published in the Official Gazette. Any actions contradicting these provisions will be null and void, with the competent authorities required to be informed and enforce the stipulated regulations.
