No — Article 6 of Law No. 6 of 2010 makes clear that the provisions of the law represent the minimum floor of rights for workers in Kuwait's private sector. Any employment contract — individual or collective — that provides rights below the standards set by the law is effectively unenforceable to the extent it falls short.
However, the law works in your favour: if your employment contract, a collective agreement, your employer's internal policies, or established professional custom grants you better benefits than the law requires, those superior terms remain fully valid and enforceable. In other words, your employer can give you more than the law requires, but never less.
As a practical tip, always read your contract carefully before signing and compare key terms — such as leave entitlements, end-of-service gratuity, working hours, and notice periods — against the statutory minimums. If any clause appears to strip away a right guaranteed by Law No. 6 of 2010, you can challenge it. Consider seeking advice from the Public Authority for Manpower or a local labour lawyer if you suspect your contract falls below legal standards.
