DUBAI: A Kuwaiti MP has called for a ban that would restrict expat workers living in the country from changing jobs before completing five years’ service. Abdullah Al-Turaiji MP, submitted the proposal on Wednesday calling for the rule change that would restrict workers in the country from changing jobs before completing five years with the same employer, national daily Kuwait Times reported. He added that the purpose of the proposal was to ‘safeguard the rights’ of employers and Kuwait’s labor market. His proposed rule change would also apply to law offices that recruited legal advisors, who allegedly changed jobs for ‘limited’ salary increases after gaining the necessary skills. Currently, labor laws in Kuwait allow most expat workers to change jobs freely if they have been with their current employers for at least one year.
