Registering a new employer with PIFSS
We hired our first Kuwaiti employee. How do we register with PIFSS?
The situation
Employers register Kuwaiti employees with PIFSS and pay monthly contributions under the Social Insurance Law.
The law
- Social Insurance Law (administered by PIFSS): Kuwaiti employees: employer 11.5% and employee 8% of salary up to KWD 2,750 a month, plus employee 2.5% up to KWD 1,500; expatriates are not covered
What it means for you
Register the employer and the employee before the first payroll. Late registration creates back contributions. Have the commercial licence, employee civil ID and contract salary ready.
What to do
- Register the employer.
- Add the employee.
- Report salary.
- Pay the first month.
