Law No. 6 of the Year 2010 Concerning Labor in Private Sector in Kuwait
The Kuwait labor law targeting the private sector is an all-encompassing document that interprets the agreed principles that govern the interaction between employees and their employers in the private sector. The law talks about various issues, including the limit of working hours, the minimum wage and the regulations regarding the age of employees, among other topics. The law stipulates that the workers in the country’s private industries are to work not more than forty-eight hours a week, or up to eight hours per day. Kuwaiti labor law does not recognize the legal employment of workers that are below fifteen years of age. The article 55 of the law no. 6 states that the minimum wage of the workers in the private sector of the country defines it as the basic salary received in exchange for the employees’ inputs. Kuwaiti labor law, therefore, strengthens the relationship between employers and employees in the private sector.
Labor, Worker Protection, and Immigration Laws in the US
Different compensation practices are applied in the private sector of the US to smoothen the experience between workers and employers in the private industry of the country. The labor laws mostly protect the workers against the harsh policies that the employers may implement. The law allows workers to unionize and stipulates the legal entry of the workers to US workplaces. Also, the law talks in detail about the minimum wage paid to the workers, which is set by congress and appears differently in the various states across the country. In interpreting the minimum wages, the labor law of the US considers the age of children workers. It has different regulations on what they are allowed to do in exchange for salaries. Therefore, labor law achieves the smoothening of interaction between employers and employees.
