Appealing annual employee efficiency reports under Kuwaiti law
Annual efficiency reports are a fundamental tool for evaluating employee performance in the Kuwaiti government sector, and they have significant implications such as promotion, suspension, or even termination of employment. Therefore, Kuwaiti law grants employees the right to object and appeal these reports if they are deemed unfair or not based on accurate facts.
First: What are efficiency reports?
These are periodic reports issued by the employer to evaluate employee performance based on specific criteria (such as discipline, productivity, and job commitment). Ratings often range from:
- excellent
- very good

- weak
A weak report may result in:
