Labor Complaint Status Inquiry in Kuwait: Steps, Hearings, and Case Tracking

How you check the status of a labor complaint in Kuwait depends on its stage. If the complaint is still with the Public Authority for Manpower (PAM), follow it through the authority’s labor services. Once the dispute has been referred to court and registered as a case, use the Ministry of Justice’s judicial inquiry services with the relevant case details.

The first step is to identify which authority currently holds your file, then use the appropriate reference number.

Where Can You Check Your Labor Complaint?

Keep your complaint number, court case number, and enforcement file number separately, together with the name of the authority that issued each number.

How to Check a Labor Complaint with the Public Authority for Manpower

Government labor services include a labor complaint inquiry service. Start from the official Public Authority for Manpower website to find the appropriate service.

To follow up:

1. Visit the official website and open the electronic services for individuals or workers.

2. Look for the labor complaint inquiry or complaint tracking service within the available portal.

3. Complete login and identity verification as instructed.

4. Select the relevant complaint or enter the information requested.

5. Review the available information and note any appointment or request for additional documents.

Menu names and login requirements may change as services are updated. Follow the current instructions displayed. If the complaint does not appear, contact the department that received it and provide proof of submission.

Checking Labor Complaint Hearing Dates Through Sahel

The announced service allows registered private-sector workers, whether Kuwaiti citizens or residents, to check the date of their complaint hearing before PAM through the Sahel application.

To find the service:

1. Open Sahel and sign in to your account.

2. Go to the Public Authority for Manpower services.

3. Look for the labor complaint hearings or hearing date inquiry service.

4. Review the appointment and available details, and keep a record.

If the service is unavailable or no date appears, ask PAM whether the complaint has been registered and a hearing scheduled. Distinguish between a complaint hearing before PAM and a court hearing.

Checking a Labor Court Case Through the Ministry of Justice

After a case has been registered before the court, use the Ministry of Justice’s official judicial inquiry service. It provides searches using the automated case number and other case references.

Search by Automated Case Number

1. Open the judicial inquiry page.

2. Select the automated case number inquiry option.

3. Enter the automated case number and the required verification code.

4. Review the result and available case information.

Search by Court Case Number

Select the corresponding service and prepare:

• Court case number.

• Relevant court or judicial authority.

• Case type.

• Registration year.

The Ministry of Justice’s service guide lists these details as service requirements. If you only have the PAM complaint number, confirm referral and court registration, then obtain the court case details before searching.

Following Up on Enforcement of a Labor Judgment

The Ministry of Justice portal includes an inquiry service using the case’s enforcement file number. Once enforcement proceedings begin, keep that number for follow-up through the appropriate service or enforcement department.

Prepare the judgment details, identification, and documents relating to enforcement. Specify what you need to know, such as the latest action or the documents required to proceed.

Finding a judgment in the inquiry system should be followed by a separate check of enforcement, collection, and disbursement. Do not rely solely on knowing the outcome of the court case.

What Should You Do If the Complaint Does Not Appear?

Review the details and the file’s stage:

• Authority: Are you searching through PAM or the Ministry of Justice?

• Reference number: Are you using the complaint number, court case number, or enforcement file number?

• Case details: Are the year, authority, and case type correct?

• Proof of submission: Do you have a receipt or notification confirming that the application was received?

Then contact the authority that received the complaint and ask about its status and any outstanding requirements. The absence of an electronic search result alone is not enough to conclude that the complaint has been rejected or closed.

Documents That Help You Follow Up

A concise file helps explain your request during an inquiry or consultation:

This is a preparation checklist. Additional documents depend on the authority’s requirements and the circumstances of the file.
