Gratuity and settlement on resignation
I have been working in qatar for 1 year & 11 months. As I have to give one month notice I gave resignation letter asking them to relive my on 21st of November. (by then I will complete 1 year & visa expires).
Since all my duties are clear, the company asked me to exit qatar in 3 days which I am requesting them to give at least 3 days more.
My question here is am I eligible to get the gratuity for 2years or only one year?
Also since my company is asking me to go immediately will I be eligible for the salary till my visa expires.

Article 54
In addition to any sums to which the worker is entitled to upon the expiry of his service, the employer shall pay the end of service gratuity to the worker who has completed employment of one year or more. This gratuity shall be agreed upon by the two parties, provided that it is not less than a three-week wage for every year of employment. ***********The worker shall be entitled to gratuity for the fractions of the year in proportion to the duration of employment.***********
The worker's service shall be considered continous if it is terminated in cases other than those stipulated in article 61 of this Law and is returned to service within two months of its termination.
The last basic wage shall be the base for the calculation of the gratuity.
The employer is entitled to deduct from the service gratuity the amount due to him by the worker.
I hope the following can be done.
If you finshed one year service till the end of your notice period then you will be entitle to get graduity and also only for worked period but not till the visa expired.
Also, the sponsor shoud pay you the salary till end of the notice period even if they send you withing three days then they have to pay for one month.
If your gave resignation before you finished the contract then you have to buy ticket for yourself.
