Hello i just need help about my problem..
Last January 10 i left my company for maternity leave and go to philippines…the company gave me 70days from january 10 till march 19 will be my 70 days of maternity leave.. plus 2 months additional so that i can still rest and take care of my baby.. but apperantly my company said i should go back to work this coming may 10 or else they will terminate me or rehire me.. "rehire" which means the previouse year that im been working to the company will be voided..
And the problem is i cant go back till May 10 because my plain ticket schedule may21 and its only promo.. I dnt even have that enough money to rebook my ticket.. and also i have provided medical certificate.
Hope that anyone can help me..
Is it possible that company teeminate me or rehire me and abolish the 1year that i've been working for them..
Really appreciate your response apon my prob.
Al-oustora company

W/c company?d company that I'm working right now,,they paid to the staff even its not yet one year of service
Our company follow the Kuwait Law strictly

Just want to know..
I'm 3mos pregnant now dey told me dey can gve 70days leave but not paid bec. Der is company rules must be u will finish 1yr&6mos…..wat can i do??
I think this is not applicable in MOH staffs
Thumbs up but the problem is in our company you cannot get your full payment of your leave ..you wil wait also salary time come
Your company dont know the law just because bby is died they don't have any consideration .
Coz ministry and company's are not the same status specially food chains or restaurant unlike government status are normally in the office and half day duty
its for kuwaitis and expats. it doesnt differeniate. know ur rights
is it included in kuwait labor law that if your baby died inside my womb while im duty and my comapny said that they will cancell my maternity because my baby died,they put it as a sickleave can you give me an answer for this please…

this is only for kuwaities
this is only for kuwaities
This rule is not following in cases of public sector expact employees especially MOH , out of them 90% of the staff are females. Each Hospitals made their own policies and allowes a maximum paid maternity leave of 30 days only.
Not in private sector
Why it's not applicable for ministry staff, must be start from ministry employees also!!!!!
Super great
great
