✓Employer name (Commercial Registration No. Employer Commercial Registration (CR) number), the "Employer", and ✓Employee name (Nationality: Employee nationality; Civil ID/Passport No. Employee Civil ID / passport number), the "Employee", agree on the following terms, to be mirrored on the official Public Authority for Manpower (PAM) contract form.

PAM registers the contract through its e-portal (e-portal.manpower.gov.kw / Ashal) as a condition of issuing the work permit (Article 18, private sector); without PAM registration the contract cannot support a work permit. Without a written contract at all, the Employee may prove their rights by any means — the risk sits with the Employer. 1.3.
