KUWAIT CITY, July 30: A number of state ministries have actually started buying leave balances from those employees who had previously submitted their applications, reports Al-Anba daily quoting informed sources. They explained that the period of leave balance that the employees requested to sell had already been deducted from the total balance of their leave days, in preparation for the completion of the cash allowance for the period sold.

The mechanism for selling leave days was carried out according to the employee’s request to benefit from his leave balance in cash, without specifying a limit for the number of days sold, but by maintaining at least 30 days in the balance. The period sold was deducted from the employee’s balance through the integrated civil service systems. The amount of cash to be disbursed in each ministry will then be determined in coordination with the Ministry of Finance
