Business owners in Kuwait moving off Excel
Track attendance, leave and a KWD salary ledger in one dashboard instead of a spreadsheet.
HR and Payroll Software for Kuwait
WatheeqaHR supports Kuwaiti companies with a KWD salary ledger (3 decimal places), attendance import, leave management, and Kuwait-specific end-of-service and PIFSS contribution calculations. End-of-service follows the indemnity formula in Labour Law 6/2010 (Articles 51-53); PIFSS contributions follow the published fund structure (Basic, Supplementary, Pension Increase, Financial Remuneration and Unemployment funds) for Kuwaiti-national employees. Both figures are calculated estimates for your HR team or accountant to confirm — WatheeqaHR does not file PIFSS contributions or any other statutory submission in Kuwait.
Features
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| KWD salary ledger | Basic salary, allowances, overtime, deductions, advances and net salary tracked in Kuwaiti dinars, at the correct 3-decimal precision |
| End-of-service estimate | Calculated per Labour Law 6/2010, Articles 51-53 — a labeled estimate, since Kuwait's Public Authority for Manpower site was not directly reachable to verify against; corroborated against multiple secondary sources |
| PIFSS contribution estimate | Basic (5%/10% up to KWD 1,500), Supplementary (5%/10% up to KWD 1,250), Pension Increase (2.5%/1% up to KWD 2,750), Financial Remuneration (2.5%/0% up to KWD 1,500) and Unemployment (0.5%/0.5% up to KWD 2,750) funds — for Kuwaiti-national employees only |
| Attendance import | The same biometric-device CSV/Excel import used for UAE companies, available for Kuwaiti entities |
| Leave management | Employee self-service leave requests with balance tracking and an approval workflow, configured per company |
| Manual sick/maternity review | A sick or maternity leave request blocks payroll approval until HR decides full, partial or unpaid pay for that request |
Who uses this
HR teams reviewing end-of-service payouts
Use the Law 6/2010 estimate as a starting point, then confirm the final figure before an employee's final settlement.
Accountants reconciling PIFSS contributions
Use the fund-by-fund PIFSS estimate as a cross-check against what's actually remitted, not as the filing itself.
Compliance disclaimer
WatheeqaHR's Kuwait end-of-service and PIFSS figures are calculated estimates based on Labour Law 6/2010 and PIFSS's published fund structure, corroborated against secondary sources rather than a direct Public Authority for Manpower or PIFSS API integration. They require review by your HR team or accountant before use, and WatheeqaHR does not file PIFSS contributions or represent these figures as government-certified. GCC-national employees other than Kuwaiti nationals are not covered by this PIFSS estimate and need manual configuration.
Frequently asked questions
Does WatheeqaHR calculate Kuwaiti end-of-service (gratuity) automatically?
Yes, using the formula in Labour Law 6/2010, Articles 51-53. This is a calculated estimate for your review, not a certified or government-verified figure — confirm the final payout with your HR team or accountant.
Does WatheeqaHR handle PIFSS contributions?
WatheeqaHR estimates the PIFSS contribution across its five funds for Kuwaiti-national employees, as an internal reference figure. It does not file or remit PIFSS contributions — that remains your company's responsibility through the official channel.
What about GCC-national employees who aren't Kuwaiti?
Cross-border GCC-national PIFSS contribution routing is not modeled — those employees show no statutory-contribution estimate and need to be handled manually with your accountant.
Does WatheeqaHR support KWD's 3-decimal currency format?
Yes. Kuwaiti dinar amounts are tracked and displayed to 3 decimal places throughout the salary ledger and payslips.
Is there a WPS-style filing for Kuwait in WatheeqaHR?
No. The WPS SIF export is UAE-only. WatheeqaHR does not generate or file an equivalent statutory submission for Kuwait.
