Options for Employee Social Insurance Calculation Card for Kuwait

When you have completed the new hire process and specified the citizenship for the employee, the employee social insurance calculation card is automatically created.

You can use the Manage Personal Calculations task in the Payroll Calculation work area to view and update the card as required.

Let's look at some points to consider when completing the information in the employee social insurance calculation component details section.

Citizenship

The citizenship information is derived from Person Information in the calculation card if you have entered a value for the employee. However, if Person Information has no details, then the calculation card isn't automatically created and you have to create it manually. You must enter the citizenship information.

Nationality Obtained Date

This date is used for reporting purposes and it can't be earlier than the person's date of birth.

Nationality Number

This is a number assigned in sequence to all Kuwaiti nationals and is an optional field for you.

Article Number

This is an alphanumeric identification number assigned to a Kuwaiti national. This number helps you identify the employment sector of a person, and whether the person is Kuwaiti by birth or has an acquired Kuwaiti nationality.

Social Insurance Contributory Salary Override

This applies only to private or oil sector employees. You can use the override amount to specify a social insurance contribution amount that's different from the social insurance balance, or the amount derived from the formula you defined at the legislative level. This is processed in the first month of joining or in the month of January every year, and applies for the whole year.

Social Insurance Contributory Salary Adjustment

This applies only to private sector employees. You can use the adjustment amount to make any changes to the social insurance contributory salary amount. You can specify this any time during the year, except in the first month of joining or in the month of January.
