the legal floor where they are
Set by law, not by National Bank of Kuwait. It applies to every employer in this place.
| Birthing-parent leave | 10 (Kuwait Labour Law No. 6 of 2010 in the Private Sector art. 24) |
|---|---|
| Income tax | no personal income tax on salary |
| Childcare the employer must provide | TWO HOURS A DAY TO BREASTFEED, AND A NURSERY DUTY THAT TRIGGERS ON HEADCOUNT. Article 25: 'A female labourer shall be given two (2) hours in order to breast feed her child during the official working hours' -- the most generous nursing provision in the Gulf. And: 'An employer shall arrange a Day Care Center for children below four (4) years if the number of women in his firm is more than fifty (50) or the number of employees therein is more than 200.' Kuwait is the second Gulf state after Saudi Arabia to put a nursery on the employer at fifty women, and the 200-employee alternative trigger means a firm with far fewer women can owe one too. (Kuwait Labour Law No. 6 of 2010 in the Private Sector art. 25) |
| Equal pay in law | Article 26, one sentence and no machinery behind it: 'A female labourer shall have the right to the same salary given to the male labourer, if she performs the same job.' As in the UAE, the right is stated and no reporting, publication or disclosure duty accompanies it, so no Kuwaiti employer's compliance can be checked from outside. (Kuwait Labour Law No. 6 of 2010 in the Private Sector art. 26) |
| Limits on which jobs women may hold | THE SAME CHAPTER THAT GRANTS ALSO RESTRICTS, and reading only the benefits misrepresents it. Article 22 bars women from working between 10:00 pm and 7:00 am outside health institutions, and requires the employer to provide transport to and from work where it applies. Article 23 prohibits employing women 'in dangerous, hard or harmful to health trades and works', and 'in such jobs which are violating their morals and based on the utilization of their femininity in a manner which is not in line with the public morals', and 'in institutions which provide service exclusively for men.' These are limits on which jobs a woman may hold, published in the same section as the maternity right. (Kuwait Labour Law No. 6 of 2010 in the Private Sector arts. 22 and 23) |
