The decision aims to protect labor from the extreme heat, as working in these areas during this period of the year is difficult due to harsh climatic conditions, making it difficult to work for normal working hours.
The implementation of this decision during the past years has received the approval of many companies in many sectors, in addition to that it took into account the public interest and is consistent with Kuwait’s obligations to implement international labor standards in the afternoon.
