Expat filing could force clearance from sponsor; Get your passport Print E-mail
Thursday, 13 August 2009 13:56

KUWAIT CITY, Aug 12: Expatriate employees should get their passports from their sponsors as the latter have no right to keep such documents, Minister of Social Affairs and Labor Dr Mohammad Al-Afasi said Wednesday after his meeting with the Health, Social Affairs and Labor Committee in the Parliament. Clarifying that expatriate workers have to fulfill certain requirements before leaving their current sponsors, Al-Afasi stressed the need for expatriate employees to obtain a clearance certificate from their current sponsors before joining another company. “Sponsors should refrain from using this condition to put pressure on their employees as they will be forced to issue the clearance certificates in case the workers file a complaint at the ministry. Expatriate workers, on the other hand, should not leave their current sponsors without informing them about their plan to transfer their residence to another sponsor,” he explained.

Revealing the committee continued Wednesday discussions on the proposed amendments to the new private sector labor law, Al-Afasi pointed out the government and Parliament unanimously approved the law during the first reading, but its enactment was delayed due to the dissolution of the Parliament. “Institutions like Kuwait Workers Union, Kuwait Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KCCI), and Banks Union have a number of reservations on the law. All parties involved and meet international expectations as the whole nation has been waiting for its ratification for quite a long time,” he opined.

Saturday, 08 August 2009 15:56
KUWAIT CITY, Aug 7: In line with a recommendation which was issued by the Labor Affairs Committee, the Ministry of Social Affairs and Labor is expected to issue a decision before the upcoming week which will grant the expatriate laborers working in the private sector right to transfer to another sponsor without the approval of the current sponsors, reports Al-Anba daily quoting reliable sources. The sources added the decision will take effect immediately after it is issued. However, the laborer will only be permitted to transfer to another sponsor after he has completed three years with the existing sponsor.  Meanwhile, Undersecretary of the Ministry of Social Affairs and Labor recently issued a decision which prevents directors of the Department of Social Care from issuing statements without approval of the ministry’s assistant undersecretary.

Block immoral TV to protect youth Print E-mail

KUWAIT CITY, June 13: The Ideal Mother Committee Chairperson Sheikha Fareeha Al-Ahmad Al-Sabah has recommended that all TV programs which depict immorality and have negative impact on the society, particularly the youth, must be stopped, reports Al-Shahed daily. Sheikha Fareha made this statement during a seminar which was organized by the daily entitled “Efforts made by Kuwait to Fight Negative Phenomena”.  She called for strategy to be laid down to help the youth spend their leisure time reasonably and responsibly instead of allowing them to be destructive and cause harm to the country. She called upon civil organizations to cooperate with the government to get rid of negative phenomena in the society. She noted these phenomena are alien to the Kuwaiti culture. She urged the National Assembly to enact a bill that will curb bad habits in the youth such as alcohol consumption and drug addiction. She warned parents of the dangers of overlooking the activities of their children. She said parents should guide and counsel their children from time to time. She grieved over the rate at which travesty and devil worship is spreading among the youth. Some of our leaders complain without taking practical steps to wipe out this undesirable scenario from our society, she indicated. We should help the government to establish medical centers to cure what she called negative habits, and to rehabilitate delinquent youths because some of them desire to change but they need help, the social activist advised.

Sunday, 14 June 2009 13:49
KUWAIT CITY, June 13, (KUNA): The thermal infrared cameras that have been introduced to Kuwait International Airport recently have been distributed in a way to cover all arrivals, a senior medical official said on Saturday. “The cameras will help detect any infection case with H1N1 virus among the passengers arriving in the country including the transit travelers,” Director of Public Health Department of the Health Ministry Dr Rashed Al-Owaish said in statements to KUNA. “The move by the state of Kuwait takes place after the World Health Organization (WHO) upgraded the pandemic level to the sixth degree,” he noted. “Six thermal infrared cameras have been fixed at the terminals of the airport and are working around the clock under strict supervision of specialized medical teams,” Al-Owaish affirmed. The highly sophisticated imaging system is able to survey up to 150 passengers every five minutes. “It can produce timely data on any passenger whose temperature is above the normal level of 37.5º Celsius,” he said, noting that the symptoms of the Influenza A subtype H1N1are similar to those of the common influenza. Under the newly-adopted medical regulations provide any passenger arriving in the country should fill two copies of a form, keep one for themselves and give the other to the medical authorities at the airport. The form includes data on the passengers such as their phone numbers to help the authorities call them in if need be. When the authorities suspect that a passenger is inflected with the fatal virus they summon them and refer them to a specialized hospital, he explained. Meanwhile, Al-Owaish reaffirmed that the state of Kuwait is free of the pandemic known also as swine flu to date. The Ministry of Health has tightened the preventive measures against the highly contagious disease since its early outbreak in Mexico in tune with the WHO guidelines, he added.

Performance Appraisals - Make Yours Glow

Does the prospect of receiving formal feedback from your boss, peers and subordinates in the form of a professional performance appraisal have your petrified to the core? Here are some tips from bayt.com on how to make the most of your performance appraisal and turn it to your advantage.

It's that dreaded time of year again. The rumour mill has it that those much-maligned annual performance reviews are already in the process of being churned by the HR departments and that this year they are even more rigorous and detailed than last year. The sudden silence from the HR quarters would seem to confirm this. Word even has it that last year's grades were considered "inflated" across the board and that this year managers were being coaxed to take a more subdued approach and "rein in" their accolades!
