Kuwait announces new requirement for employers to submit work and holiday schedule electronically

Effective 1 November 2025, employers in Kuwait are required to electronically submit and update daily work schedules, rest periods and holidays for their employees, including foreign workers. The Public Authority for Manpower (PAM) announced the issuance of Ministerial Resolution No. (15) of 2025 on 14 September 2025, which mandates employers to submit and update daily work schedules, rest periods and holidays through the PAM’s electronic system. Once approved, employers will be required to print and display work schedule data at their office premises, which the PAM inspectors will use for official reference during their inspections and follow-ups.
