hope the kuwait government will conduct inspections for every company which does not follow the reules.
last year ive worked 7and half hours but no overtime pay. and it hurts because i am a muslim who has peroforming fasting during ramadhan and giving too much time for praying in the evening and waking up early and my schedule is 5am to 12:30 pm. if it will not change a very big problem for us muslims to do fast this ramadhan. 🙁
