expected Salary hike for expat government employees

salary hike for expate government employees.

As many of us who read newspapers and follow local events must be aware that employees of many government entities, like customs, aviation, kuwait air ways etc set a general strike two months ago, in protest to lower salaries and demanded for salary increase.

Ofcourse, due to those strikes which lasted for many days, the government suffered great financial loses. The striks were called off after the government promised to look into the matter and increase their salaries to their satisfaction. The financial committeess at the national assembly were discussing to set a suitable amount for different catagories.

At that time, news were in cirulation that kd 50 would be increased for expat government employees, effective from 1st April 2012. There were news that increased money would be given with the salries of June, 2012 but later local newspapers quoted concerned officials as saying that the june deadline had been  expanded due to the aproval process of fiscal budget for the year 2012-2013.

Now well informed people say that the increased 50 kd would be adjusted with the july 2012 salariesl, means if the money is given with july salaries than government employees will get 200 kd extra.

good news for expat government employees.
