Proposal to cut working hours or working days to 4 per week in Kuwait

MP Muhammad Al-Huwaila has submitted a proposal to reduce the working hours or working days to four per week for public sector employees. He said the proposed working period reduction should not affect the salaries and allowances of employees, as well as the quality of services provided to citizens.

He argued the whole world is gearing towards such reduction to lessen the stress of employees in rushing to report for work on time. He added this will help employees improve their performance and have more achievements rather than being concerned about losing the excellent job performance bonus due to tardiness. He also wants to take into consideration the request of employees to work part time based on the manpower needs of every institution.
