Kuwait: Employers Must Now Log Working Hours With PAM

Under Kuwait’s Ministerial Decree 15/2025, in force in 2026, employers must record daily working hours, rest, weekends and holidays on the Public Authority of Manpower (PAM) system, and those records are the official reference for inspections and overtime evidence. What it means for you: overtime and end-of-service claims now hinge on logged hours, so keep your own records too — screenshots of schedules, payslips, and any PAM-portal entries you can see — in case the employer’s log and your reality disagree.
