The Public Authority for Manpower (PAM) in Kuwait has announced it will take decisive action against employers who are found to be exploiting female employees by assigning them work that violates Kuwaiti labor laws. This crackdown targets employers who obtain work permits for female employees but then utilize them for jobs different from those specified in the permit, constituting unlawful work. The PAM emphasized its commitment to protecting the rights of all workers, particularly vulnerable groups such as female employees. These actions follow reports of increasing instances of permit abuse within Kuwait's labor market. The authority stated it will impose penalties on offending employers, potentially including fines and revocation of their ability to sponsor foreign workers. The move aims to correct imbalances and ensure fair labor practices across Kuwait. Investigations will focus on verifying the nature of work being performed by female employees against their official permit details.
