Indemnity Law & Calculator
-
- The worker deserves 15 days indemnity during the first five years, and increases to one month after the first five years.
- An employee who resigns, but does not complete three years with the employer, does not deserve an indemnity.
- But if the employee completes three to five years and resigns, the employee then deserves half of the indemnity, if he completes five to 10 years, then he deserves two-thirds of the indemnity.

my indeminity be calculated with new salary or old salary
Hi,I started working April 2017 as Household service working.And finished my contract for 2years but I extended for one year, so I’d been in my employer for 3years. I decided to go home. I was in my country for 2years. And just last May 2022 I came back in my employer. And signed again a 2years contract. My question is, will I be able to claim my indemnity from 3years of service before and this additional 2years that will end in 2024? And how much indemnity will I get if I claim it. My salary is still 120kwd.

Dear Sir/ Madam;
Good Afternoon;
I need to know of how much the indemnity I will received working in the company of 7 years & 6 months.My salary right now
is kd 550.00
I asked the HR it is very less the amount given compared the google calculation in arab times.
they calculate like this;
5 yers @ 15 days = 75 x 2/3 = 50 days
2 yers & 6 months.. not given
Your quick response is highly appreciated.
Your Amount due should have been calculated like beow (If they Terminate you)
First 5 Year (550/26*15)*5 = 1586.538
Next 2.5 years = 550*2.5=1375.000
Total amount due = 2961.538
If you had resigned then you should get 2961.538*2/3=1974.359

my husband did finish a three years contract from his previous company…he even had a pending days approximately 14 days and his basic pay was 200 kd…if depending on this calcution…i believe he should not get just a total of 29kd as his indemnities…can we still file a complain regarding this issue and how?
Can some one please advice…our company not paying the third part of our salary..ie 300 basic+ 200 allowencw + 150 PLI.
Company only paying basic & allowence each month.The third part PLI is mentioned to get in contract/agreement but still company not given so far to any staff..till 3 years completed..pl some one suggest what action employee should take..
im working in co. for 4 yrs 5 months my basic salalry was 300..how many days indemnity should i get ? as my old co. is sayig u will get only 33 days… i dont understand how it coming like dis
Sir iam a domestc helper and working 28yrs in one employer can get imdemnity to my employer?
Its not fair so whats the different between 2 employee if the other one is resign but in 5yrs also and the other one is finished the contract for 5yrs, and why its almost half of the imdemnity difference to each one? But in terms of working tenure they had the same 5yrs. Of working period.so its very unfair like us before working almost 13hrs. Or morethan a day with out payment for over time. Hoping you understand our workers.
I believe a new law entitles an employee who resigns after one year of service to half a month’s salary. Can someone please confirm? Thank you.
Calculation is wrong.
While drafting the law, the law makers intended for the benefits of workers. Minor misinterpretations in the law which might not noticed while drafting the rules. Salary in Kuwait per month is for 26 days. Clause 1 says 15 days as they intended as half of the salary.
So the worker should get maximum benefits in interpreting a labor law which is not clear. Not to the employers.
Take an example of 10 year completed worker.
clauses:
1.The worker deserves 15 days indemnity during the first five years, and increases to one month after the first five years.
2.An employee who resigns, but does not complete three years with the employer, does not deserve an indemnity.
3.But if the employee completes three to five years and resigns, the employee then deserves half of the indemnity, if he completes five to 10 years, then he deserves two-thirds of the indemnity.
4.If the worker completes 10 years of work then resigns, he deserves full indemnity which is one month salary for each year spent at work, according to Article 51 of Labor Law in the private sector, and should not exceed 18 months.
Now Suppose a 10.1 years of serviced person’s calculation. Only clause 4 is valid in his case as the fist 3 clauses automatically cancels in view of his 10 years of service. Because he completed 10 years and resigns (clause 4). so clause foe solely valid here. So ten months full salary should be applicable to him. Some greedy / unknowing managements try to deduct fraction of indemnity of first 5 years which is not correct. They depend on clause 1 and try to add with clause 4. The argument is that first 5 years are included in the total service and after 5 years only one full month is applicable. Its not correct. If so why they are not considering clause 3 which is giving half of indemnity? So So the clause supersedes all the previous points (cluses 1-3) and only 4 is legally valid.
I had completed 9 months only and my project finished but 1year visa.its elegible for indemnity?
Pls tell me and my salary is 400kd

If one is terminated by employer that last should pay 3 months grace period with indemnities when cancelling or transferring residency or on a monthly basis?
Calculator is wrong here or may be i misinterpret it. Last line in rules explains that “If the worker completes 10 years of work then resigns, he deserves full indemnity which is one month salary for each year spent at work, according to Article 51 of Labor Law in the private sector, and should not exceed 18 months.” but if you calculate it both weather you resign or no calculation shows first 5 years 15 days salary per year and remaining years 1 month salary per year
example : your salary if 800 and worked for 18 years. Amount should be 800 x 18 = 14400 K.D.
but your calculator shows Indemnity amount 12707.692
Please check and update your calculator or change the rules.
I am not 100% sure about the article but below is what i know;
First 5 years : 1/2 Salary (800KWD/2 = 400 KWD, 5 years x 400 KWD = 2000 KWD)
Rest of the years : Full Salary (800 KWD x 13 years = 10400 KWD)
Total Indemnity For 18 Years = 12400KWD (The calculator is showing almost the near value)

20 yrs of experience and become sick , and died . Is she eligible for the indemnity?
20 yrs of experience and become sick , and died . Is she eligible for the indemnity?
Calculation is wrong. Example a person earns 80 kwd , worked for 18 years.
80 * 2.5 = 200 ( 1 – 5 years )
80 * 13 = 1040 ( 5 – 18 years )
Total —– 1240 .
The app calculates 1270.769 . Which is totally wrong. Its my believe that they have taken 26 days as a whole month which is wrong.
Good day may I ask I work only one year in a private company but I like to go to another company do I get indemnity too…and did they give me realese?

If the worker completes 10 years of work then resigns, he deserves full indemnity which is one month salary for each year spent at work, according to Article 51 of Labor Law in the private sector, and should not exceed 18 months.
