Wage Protection System (Art. 57 Law 6/2010)

Kuwait's Wage Protection System (WPS) is established under Article 57 of Labour Law No. 6 of 2010 and implemented through PAM regulations. It requires private-sector employers to pay employee wages electronically via PAM-approved financial institutions. The system enables PAM to monitor wage payment compliance in real time and take enforcement action against non-compliant employers. According to the ILO's 2025 regional report on wage protection in Arab states, Kuwait's WPS covers private-sector workers and is linked to the employer's ability to renew work permits. The specific implementing ministerial decision number has not been confirmed from the official gazette.
