Arab Times, 2 November 2025: Kuwait has introduced new regulations requiring private sector employers to digitally record and display working hours, rest periods and holidays.

Under Kuwait Decision No. 15/2025, employers must enter comprehensive workplace scheduling information into a new electronic system managed by the Public Authority for Manpower (PAM).

The mandatory digital records must include: daily working hours, rest periods, weekly rest days and official holidays.

Employers are required to maintain up-to-date records, with any schedule changes to be logged immediately in the system. The digital data will serve as the official reference for workplace inspections.

The resolution stipulates that employers must print and prominently display the approved schedules at work sites, making them accessible to both staff and inspectors. This new electronic system replaces all previous paper-based documentation methods.
