Travel Allowance - Cash or $ 300 or One months basic/yr (i.e. $5100/yr)?
1. What is the standard for travelling allowance in terms of Nunber of basic salaries/year?
2. Which one is a better deal:
QR 1000/month or ask company to provide a car (i prefer not taking risks with signing leases and loans especially in a new environment).
3. What are the chances of a mid tier local company (not used to expat salaries and having asian managers) agreeing to pay basic salary/yr as travel allowance ($5100)?
My basic is $ 5100/month. What I'm trying to figure out is if QR 1000/mth is good enough to rent a car on monthly basis.
If not how much will it cost to rent a decent second hand car on month to month basis?
The travel allowance is $5100 per year. No westerner would come for that salary, not even a "challenged" one, they couldn't afford anything.
QR 1000 will not rent you a car. Travel is one round trip home per year for worker and family. If you are saying the basic salary per year is $5100. You can't afford to live here
