    Frequently Asked Questions Ò€” Hiring in Kuwait

    How does Taj HR assist Kuwait employers with Public Authority for Manpower (PAM) work permits?
    Under Kuwait Labour Law No. 6 of 2010 and PAM regulations, private sector employers must obtain preliminary work permits via the Ashal portal. Taj HR assists Kuwaiti clients by reviewing occupational classifications, ensuring demand letters align with approved PAM quotas without administrative delays.
    Are your industrial welders and fitters qualified for KOC and KNPC refinery turnaround projects?
    Yes. Our testing centers conduct 6G TIG and Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW) on heavy wall carbon steel and stainless steel pipe coupons under ASME Section IX and API 1104 standards, matching Kuwait Oil Company (KOC) and KNPC plant turnaround specifications.
    What is the procedure for heavy drivers converting to a Kuwait Heavy Driving License?
    Drivers with valid or recently expired GCC heavy driving licenses (from Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, or Oman) are prioritized. They undergo fast-track conversion and practical driving assessments through Kuwait General Traffic Department (Moroor) centers.
    How does the Wage Protection System (WPS) operate in Kuwait?
    Under Central Bank of Kuwait (CBK) and PAM directives, all private sector companies must disburse monthly employee salaries electronically to local bank accounts via the Wage Protection System (WPS). Taj HR formats all employment agreements to mirror these mandatory banking protocols.
    What replacement guarantee is provided for Kuwait deployments?
    Every worker deployed to Kuwait is protected by our formal 90-day replacement warranty. If a worker fails trade competency benchmarks, is disqualified during Kuwait Ministry of Health medical testing, or absconds within 90 days, Taj HR deploys an approved replacement at zero additional recruitment cost.
