Sources at Kuwait’s Public Authority of Manpower have announced employees who entered the country with an employment contract for the public sector then transferred to work with the private sector then went back to the public sector can transfer back to the private sector without the intervention of the Supreme Committee. The sources added the implementation of Administrative Decisions cannot be backdated. The transfer requests which are related to employees who have been moving in and out of the public sectors before the relevant Administrative Decision was issued should not be subject to the prohibition.

Kuwait’s Public Authority for Manpower has urged employers holding contracts with Government bodies to check the numbers of national workers registered with their companies. The aim is to ensure their status is compatible with the Decision determining the number of nationals employed at companies which have contracts with Government bodies. The information technology department has finalised the procedures for applying this Decision.
