Hello all ,

Wanted to ask if there is any thing in the Kuwait labor law that states there should be a yearly salary increase to compensate inflation and that sort of stuff ? if not , what is the trend in Kuwait for salary increases ? is it on promotion only ? thanks

depends on where u work, and unfortunately no, its not a fixed stipulation as it depends on the economic environment mostly. no company would ever put a clause that u HAVE to get a promotion or an increase.

Nothing in the labor Law on annual salary review; most companies will adjust salaries based on the CPI (Consumer Price Index); 4-5% roughly.
