KUWAIT CITY, March 26: The Civil Service Commission (CSC) continues to implement the Kuwaitization policy in all government agencies, under Civil Service Council’s Resolution No. 11/2017. As part of this policy, the contracts of non-Kuwaiti employees holding positions that are not rare will not be renewed. According to informed sources, this policy mandates that contracts for non-Kuwaiti employees in positions that are not rare will not be renewed after March 31, 2025.
However, the number of such employees is limited, and their retention was intended to help qualify Kuwaiti nationals as part of a strategic plan to enhance national competencies in various fields. Furthermore, Resolution No. 11/2017 covers job groups with 100% Kuwaitization and others with a rate ranging between 70 percent and 98 percent.

The job groups covered by 100% Kuwaitization are:
Information systems and technology
Maritime
Arts, media, and public relations
Development, administrative follow-up, and statistics
Administrative support

The job groups with Kuwaitization rates ranging between 70 percent and 98 percent are:
Criminal Evidence, Prevention, and Rescue: 98 percent
Social Services, Education, and Sports: 97 percent
Engineering: 97 percent
Sciences: 95 percent
Finance, Economics, and Commerce: 95 percent
Law, Politics, and Islamic

Affairs: 88 percent
Crafts: 80 percent
Services: 85 percent
Livestock, Agriculture, and Aquatic

Resources: 75 percent
Teaching, Education, and Training: 70 percent

Meanwhile, for an employee who has shifted to the evening shift to return to the morning shift, one condition must be met - approval from the relevant government agency. If the employee does not obtain this approval, they will be required to continue working the evening shift for at least seven consecutive months.

This time period is designed to benefit the employee by ensuring they receive the necessary performance report. The sources indicated that the number of employees wishing to return from the evening shift to the morning shift is minimal, if not zero, as all employees who transitioned to the evening shift did so voluntarily, in line with their personal circumstances.
