KUWAIT CITY, May 21: Acting Director General of the Public Authority for Manpower, Marzouq Al-Otaibi, has issued an administrative circular mandating that business owners submit proof of salary transfers to local banks when requesting to increase their workforce beyond the approved needs assessment.
According to sources, the directive is intended to regulate the labor market and prevent delays in the payment of salaries and other entitlements to workers listed on company records. The measure also ensures that companies seeking to expand their labor quota comply with labor laws (particularly those governing timely wage payments), thereby helping to reduce worker complaints. The source emphasized that under Kuwait’s Labor Law, private sector companies are required to transfer employee salaries to local banks within the first week of each month.
