Kuwait is considering a proposed policy change regarding employees utilising unused sick leaves.
If the proposal comes to pass, employees will not be able to add unused sick days to their annual leave or get compensation in lieu of them.
The proposed move aims to reduce the financial burden on companies and encourage employees to take sick leave days when necessary instead of hoarding leaves for cash benefits.
The proposal has sparked some debate, with advocates of the move saying it serves to promote better health and labour regulations. Meanwhile, critics argue that it would demotivate employees who rely on it as supplemental income, suggesting that it should remain a right for employees.
