KUWAIT CITY, May 19: The financial and administrative affairs, planning and administrative development sectors of the Ministry of Social Affairs, are currently working to expedite the launch of the automated system for registering employees to obtain annual leave, sick leaves and to address any shortcomings or mistakes that have happened earlier which caused them financial or moral harm, reports Al-Jarida daily. According to the sources the ministry organized a lecture which was attended by about 200 supervisors, including managers, observers and heads of departments.

The sources pointed out that the new service comprising of “barcode” will be available on the ministry’s website, allowing the employee wishing to submit a regular or sick leave or permission, after entering his username and password, and then submit his request to the “administrative affairs department” immediately, without the need to wait several days for the administration to receive these requests. The sources pointed out that many employees, especially those working in external departments and units (outside the ministries complex), were subjected to injustice and were subjected to financial losses and salary deductions as a result of interruption from work and failure to prove attendance and departure through the “fingerprint”, system due to late submission of their requests to the concerned department.
