How is Kuwait EOSB indemnity calculated?

Kuwait indemnity is calculated at 15 days of basic salary per year for the first 5 years, and 30 days per year for years beyond 5. Terminated employees receive an additional 50% on top (their entitlement is multiplied by 1.5).

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I get indemnity if I resign?

Yes, but only after 3 years of continuous service. Shorter tenure means no entitlement if you resign voluntarily.

Why do terminated employees get 1.5×?

Kuwait law awards an additional 50% to employees terminated by the employer, compensating for involuntary loss of employment.

What if my employer has not paid?

File a complaint with the Kuwait Ministry of Social Affairs and Labour (MSAL). Keep all employment records and payslips as evidence.
