Bilingual contract templates, drafted by Wefaq law firm.

The contract most private-sector companies in Kuwait use. It starts with no end date and runs until one side ends it, and it settles what this kind of contract always raises: the probation period, the salary and how it feeds into end-of-service pay, working hours and leave, and how much notice each side must give, under Kuwaiti labour law.

A contract for a set term that ends on its end date and can be renewed. It answers the two questions this type always raises: what happens if work continues past the end date, and what ending it early costs you.

One agreement you set at signing as either two-way or one-way. It spells out what counts as confidential and what does not, lets you choose how long it lasts, protects trade secrets, and sits under Kuwaiti law.

For engaging a freelancer or consultant — not an employee — for defined services under the Civil Code. Written so the relationship does not quietly turn into employment, gives the company ownership of the work, and sets the scope out in a schedule.

Accepts a resignation formally and closes the file properly: the last working day, notice, and the final payout — salary, unused leave, and end-of-service at the rate the law sets for resignations.

For dismissing an employee at once, no notice, for serious misconduct under Article 41. It records exactly what happened, shows you ran a proper investigation, and names the Article 41 ground you relied on. The guide walks you through it.

Closes a dispute or departure with one agreed payment and a mutual promise not to claim anything more. Built around the rights an employee cannot sign away in Kuwait, so it holds, with payment tied to signing.

Signed by the employee when they take company property. Records each item and its condition, limits use to work only, and gives you the signed paper that makes getting it back — or lawfully deducting — possible later.

The matching form for when someone leaves: every item returned and its condition recorded, clearance confirmed, and any deduction kept inside the limits the Labour Law allows. A clean, signed end to the custody record.
