Electricity Authority Sets Mechanism for Site Allowance Payment to Engineers and Support Staff

The Ministry of Electricity, Water and Renewable Energy has established a mechanism for registering field visits and disbursing site allowances to eligible employees, in accordance with a circular from the Civil Service Bureau. The allowance is linked to the actual number of field visits conducted by each employee, capped at a maximum of 12 visits per month.

Sources at the Ministry of Electricity clarified that the mechanism applies to Kuwaiti engineers and holders of supporting engineering positions. Employees must personally submit a request to register their field visits via the Ministry’s mobile application or website (Portal), or through the integrated system of the Civil Service Bureau.

The request undergoes several approval stages, starting with the employee’s direct supervisor, then the manager of the relevant department, and finally receiving final approval from the Administrative Affairs Department. The ministry emphasized that all approvals must be completed before the scheduled visit date.

The site allowance is calculated based on the number of field visit requests that have received final approval, and the allowance is automatically disbursed along with the salary for the month following the visits.
