• Measure aims to ensure employee presence throughout their shift

Kuwait’s government will soon implement a new attendance policy requiring employees to use a third fingerprint for verification during official working hours.

This measure follows the existing two-time fingerprinting system and aims to ensure employee presence throughout their shift.

Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of State for Cabinet Affairs, Sherida Al Mausharji, announced the decision, which takes effect once published in the official gazzate.

According to the new regulations, employees must perform a third fingerprint within 60 minutes after the first two hours of their shift.
