Please, I Need Advise
I'd been working in this company for almost two years now as CAD draftman. They hired me with the offer letter indicating my work, basic salary and my monthly allowance for my transportation and accomodation. But they let me signed my contract without reading it and give me low level visa without complaining because my tourist visa at that time is about to expire.
For 6 months they pay me without my allowance. And after gave only half as indicated in the letter of my transportation allowance and only now they give me half of my accomodation allowance. I'v been complaining about this but our manager will say this is what written in my contract and "if you don't want you can go home". I don't want to go home, I have 2 kids, I came here to earn for their future.
Only now I know that the contract I signed is with free accomodation plus transportation, but they are giving me. Not mentioned there that they will give me cash allowance. But it stated there that we are not fixed salary because sometimes we are working 15-18 hrs. a day not in my assigned work without paying our overtime.
I hope someone can advise me where to go for this matter and if there is a chance I can get the salary and allowances as what is written to my offer letter and the consequences I will face.
Going to the Labour will not help unless or untill we are strong with our verdict,and secondly fighting with a company is more or less a handicapp match so wad i can tell u now is.. be cool for sumtym.. things are getting better in qatar and most probably the new laws will come into power, and dont worry once they come into power, u come into power...
Regards and best wishes for u n ur kids..
god bless!
are you working with dodsal?
normally such kind of a contract letters written very wisely so first read your contract letter carefully and then go to labour department.
nothing gonna change with your salary, until u've another good offer.
the sad point here is you signed the contract , meaning you agreed in what is written..
if you can talk to the admin / accounts about this situation maybe they can give you a favor..
or else you can go t labor and ask for help regarding the issues..
goodluck! and im hoping that i will be okey....
