The templates most businesses use are wrong.

Most online templates are not drafted for Kuwait. They miss mandatory provisions under Kuwait Labour Law No. 6 of 2010, and translations are often poor.

Wefaq Templates are drafted by a law firm in both Arabic and English. They are current with the law, professionally formatted, and include a plain-language guide so you know what each clause does.

Employment Contract - Unlimited Term

Employment Contract - Unlimited Term

What this document is: The standard open-ended employment contract for the private sector in Kuwait, drafted to be consistent with Labour Law No. 6 of 2010. It has no end date: it runs until either party lawfully ends it. This is the default contract for permanent hires and the anchor document of the Hiring Pack. What it covers: Probation within the statutory cap of 100 working days. A wage clause that separates the basic wage from allowances — the basis of the end-of-service calculation. Working hours, annual leave, and sick leave at the statutory levels. Transfer of residency and work permit after probation is passed. Notice, termination, and end-of-service gratuity in line with the Labour Law. What's included with your purchase: The contract as an editable, bilingual Word file (.docx), ready to complete and sign. A plain-language usage and compliance guide (PDF) with the Kuwait statutory references. A legal information product drafted for Kuwait , not legal advice and no lawyer–client relationship. See the Terms of Use.

45 KWD
Employment Contract — Limited Term

Employment Contract — Limited Term

What this document is: A fixed-term employment contract for the private sector in Kuwait that ends on its expiry date and is renewable. Suited to project-based roles and defined engagements. It deals directly with the two questions fixed terms always raise: what happens if work simply continues past the end date, and what it costs to end the contract early. What it covers: The term, its expiry, and written renewal. Deemed renewal: if work continues past expiry, the law treats the contract as renewed on the same terms. Early termination and the compensation the breaching party owes. Probation, wage breakdown, hours, and leave — the same statutory approach as the unlimited-term contract. End-of-service gratuity in line with the Labour Law. What's included with your purchase : The contract as an editable, bilingual Word file (.docx), ready to complete and sign. A plain-language usage and compliance guide (PDF) with the Kuwait statutory references. A legal information product drafted for Kuwait — not legal advice and no lawyer–client relationship. See the Terms of Use.

45 KWD
Non-Disclosure Agreement (Mutual or One-Way)

Non-Disclosure Agreement (Mutual or One-Way)

What this document is: One confidentiality agreement that works both ways: configure it as mutual (both sides exchange information) or one-way (only you disclose). Built for hiring, vendor, and negotiation settings in Kuwait, on Civil Code foundations, with trade-secret protection under the Commercial Code. Confidentiality runs for a finite period you choose — never perpetual. What it covers: A single template you set as mutual or one-way at signing. What is confidential, the standard carve-outs, and permitted use. A finite confidentiality period chosen from defined options. Trade-secret protection and remedies on breach. Kuwaiti governing law and jurisdiction. What's included with your purchase: The contract as an editable, bilingual Word file (.docx), ready to complete and sign. A plain-language usage and compliance guide (PDF) with the Kuwait statutory references. A legal information product drafted for Kuwait — not legal advice and no lawyer–client relationship. See the Terms of Use.

40 KWD
Independent Contractor / Consultancy Agreement

Independent Contractor / Consultancy Agreement

What this document is: Engages an independent contractor or consultant — not an employee — for defined services, under the Kuwait Civil Code. The agreement polices the boundary that matters most here: it is drafted so the relationship does not drift into employment, with the contractor bearing their own taxes and social contributions, and the work product assigned to the company. A services schedule defines scope and deliverables. What it covers: Services, deliverables, and acceptance, set out in a dedicated schedule. An express no-employment-relationship clause guarding the Labour Law boundary. Fees, invoicing, and payment mechanics. Assignment of intellectual property in the work product to the company. Confidentiality, term, and termination on notice. What's included with your purchase: The contract as an editable, bilingual Word file (.docx), ready to complete and sign. A plain-language usage and compliance guide (PDF) with the Kuwait statutory references. A legal information product drafted for Kuwait — not legal advice and no lawyer–client relationship. See the Terms of Use.

45 KWD
Resignation Acceptance Letter

Resignation Acceptance Letter

What this document is: A formal employer letter that accepts an employee's resignation and closes the relationship cleanly: it fixes the last working day, confirms notice, and sets out the final settlement — salary to the last day, payment for accrued untaken leave, and end-of-service on the statutory resignation scale. A clean written acceptance is what prevents disputes about when, and on what terms, the employment ended. What it covers: Formal acceptance and the confirmed last working day. Notice under the Labour Law. The final settlement: wages, untaken annual leave, end-of-service. End-of-service on resignation, applying the statutory reduction scale by years of service. Handover and clearance before departure. What's included with your purchase: The letter as an editable, bilingual Word file (.docx), ready to complete on your letterhead. A plain-language usage and compliance guide (PDF) with the Kuwait statutory references. A legal information product drafted for Kuwait — not legal advice and no lawyer–client relationship. See the Terms of Use.

20 KWD
Termination for Cause Letter

Termination for Cause Letter

What this document is: The highest-risk letter an employer sends: dismissal without notice for serious misconduct under Article 41 of the Labour Law. This template is structured to withstand challenge — it records the conduct precisely, documents the investigation and the employee's opportunity to respond, cites the specific Article 41 ground relied on, and states the position on end-of-service. The guide walks through each step before you send it. What it covers: A precise record of the conduct and when it occurred. The investigation and the employee's right to respond. The legal basis: the specific Article 41 ground, stated exactly. The effective date of dismissal without notice. The employer's stated position on end-of-service. What's included with your purchase: The letter as an editable, bilingual Word file (.docx), ready to complete on your letterhead. A plain-language usage and compliance guide (PDF) with the Kuwait statutory references. A legal information product drafted for Kuwait — not legal advice and no lawyer–client relationship. See the Terms of Use.

25 KWD
Settlement and Final Release

Settlement and Final Release

What this document is: Ends an employment dispute — or closes out a departure — with a lump-sum settlement and a final mutual release, on the Civil Code's settlement framework. It is drafted around the rule that decides whether these agreements hold up in Kuwait: statutory rights protected by public policy (end-of-service due, earned unpaid wages) cannot be waived, so the release runs to the maximum extent the law permits and payment is tied to signing. What it covers: The settlement amount, and payment tied to signing. The matters released, defined with precision. An express carve-out for non-waivable statutory rights. No admission of liability by either party. Kuwaiti law, with the release framed to be enforceable before the Kuwaiti courts. What's included with your purchase: The contract as an editable, bilingual Word file (.docx), ready to complete and sign. A plain-language usage and compliance guide (PDF) with the Kuwait statutory references. A legal information product drafted for Kuwait — not legal advice and no lawyer–client relationship. See the Terms of Use.

45 KWD
Asset & Equipment Handover and Acceptable Use

Asset & Equipment Handover and Acceptable Use

What this document is: Signed when an employee receives company property — laptop, phone, car, access cards, tools. The employee acknowledges receiving the listed assets in good condition, takes custody of them under the Civil Code's care standards, and accepts a business-use-only rule. It creates the paper trail that makes recovery, and any lawful deduction, possible later. What it covers: A schedule of the assets handed over, with identifying details. Acknowledgment of receipt in good working condition. Custody, care, and the business-use-only restriction. Liability for misuse or negligence. Deductions kept within the limits the Labour Law allows. What's included with your purchase: The contract as an editable, bilingual Word file (.docx), ready to complete and sign. A plain-language usage and compliance guide (PDF) with the Kuwait statutory references. A legal information product drafted for Kuwait — not legal advice and no lawyer–client relationship. See the Terms of Use.

15 KWD
Asset Return and Clearance

Asset Return and Clearance

What this document is: The exit-side counterpart to the handover form: on departure, the employee returns every item of company property, the company records the condition of what came back, and clearance is confirmed. It protects the final settlement — any deduction for damaged or missing items must stay within the Labour Law's limits — and gives both sides a clean, signed close to the custody record. What it covers: A checklist of returned items against the original handover. The condition of returned assets, recorded and signed. Confirmation of clearance for the departing employee. Any deduction for loss or damage kept within the Labour Law's limits. What it covers: A checklist of returned items against the original handover. The condition of returned assets, recorded and signed. Confirmation of clearance for the departing employee. Any deduction for loss or damage kept within the Labour Law's limits.
