Hi guys,
I would just like some clarity on the average work week for professionals in Kuwait (I understand that this could vary according to company and profession).
The information I have found so far however would indicate that it is standard to work 6 days a week? In most Western countries, you would have Saturday and Sunday as your weekend and although some people are still required to work those days, this is not considered standard business hours or office hours.
Although on first glance it would appear that Kuwaiti average annual leave days are higher than what you would get in South Africa, it isn't really if you are expected to work 6 days in a standard week rather than five - in which case we essentially have 52 extra 'leave days' here in RSA just for having a Saturday and Sunday off?
Any clarity would be highly appreciated as I would obviously like to include the 'extra days of work' in our expected annual salary calculations.
Thank you in advance!
