Changes to unpaid leave policy for public workers
Representative Khalifa Al-Diyatt stated that the government is considering making amendments to the laws governing unpaid leave for public sector employees, with the aim of increasing flexibility and making it easier for employees to benefit from it. The proposed changes include reducing the required actual service period from five to three years, removing the limit on the duration of the leave based on a specific number of years, and canceling the condition of returning to service within the last five years before retirement. These amendments seek to enable the broadest possible segment of employees to take advantage of unpaid leave without affecting their retirement rights, while maintaining their pension entitlements in a more flexible manner. An official announcement is expected once the formal procedures are completed.
