Kuwait's Public Authority for Manpower introduces new unified employment contract

The Public Authority for Manpower (PAM) in Kuwait has released a new unified employment contract that regulates the terms of employment for employees working in the private sector. From January 1, 2016, the new employment contract must be attached with all new work permit applications submitted to the PAM for the hire of employees. However, employees already working on old employment contracts may continue with these until a new work permit application is required upon the expiry of the existing work permit.

A Tax Alert prepared by Ernst & Young's Human Capital Group, and attached below, provides additional details.
