30000 sick leaves , Kuwait
Around 30,000 public employees in Kuwait had applied for sick leaves for the three days following the official Eid holidays.
“The employees from various ministries and government establishments and institutions have secured the sick leave from public and private hospitals, allowing them not to report to work on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday,” a source at the Civil Service Commission (CSC) said.
The sick leaves extend the Eid holidays that started on Friday last week by five days, including the two-day weekend.
However, the CSC said it was launching a thorough investigation into all the sick leave cases to check whether they were genuine, assess their compliance with the regulations and to determine responsibilities, Kuwaiti daily Al Anbareported.
