Special allowance is the term used to increase the salary from the official allowed within a grade. many companies use this to get round the HR salary caps.
Osamabawab - Thanks a perfect logical response I think. This way the company also avoids paying larger bonus sums as it is based on the basic rate correct?
Any allowance that cannot be categorized in Housing or Travel comes in this category. Most of the people who negotiate well and cannot get the basic salary high restricted by slab in the position, companies add the rest in special allowance.
the end of service is calculated based on the basic salary so the employer tries to give very low basic and big allowances in various names so that the employee will get very less amount when he resigns
william b..if a package includes basic, rent, housing and transport, then these elements are only paid upon proof of receipt?
answer is NO.these all elements will be paid to you incording to the package or grade gievn to you regardless of receipt
only special allowance will be given if house rental is more then the given package so upon presenting the reciept you will be entitled to recieve special allowance according to ur grade..if u r getting housing allowance of 5000 and if u show the reciept of rent 9000 then according to ur grade some amount wll be added to housing allowance may be 1000 only. so total will be
housing allowance given: 5000
special allowance : 1000
Actual rent is 9000
thats all a company can do as an special allowance
Blue rose is right ... sometimes special allowance can also be added in your car, food, professional, or risk allowance case to case basis..., they even call it special if the extra amount that was given is beyond the budget for the year.
It is not only applicable to local, but also for expats who is deserving.
So if a package includes basic, rent, housing and transport, then these elements are only paid upon proof of receipt? So if you get a 10000 housing allowance and find an apartment for 9000 you dont get the 1000 saved? It doesnt mention this in the contract and I assumed take home salary was just that, what you take home?
special allowance is given in addition to housing allowance
example in ur total package ..housing allowance given in QR 1000
if u r giving a rent of 3000 then upon presenting the receipts of rent and contract HR will approve and then special aalowance of some amount will be given according to ur grade i.e. 500 more .so this is special allowance of 500

blue rose thank you.
The package is itemised and described as:
basic xx
special allowance xx
housing xx
mobile xx
transport xx
total take home salary (add up the xx's)
I assume then as it is included in the total take home salary it will be paid regardless.

no one follows the labor law that has actually to be followed. for private companies the labor law is just a piece of paper.

No idea! What does your contract say?
If nothing, ask your HR department!
