when is end of month
Is it normal for someone on a monthly ex-pat salary to have to wait until after the 1st week of the month (making it 38 days to be paid. i have been told this is common practice.. taking into account my standing orders get paid 1st monday of every month. Just when i thought Qatar was up with the times and good place to live, it looks like time to go.
If you are paid monthly but submit weekly time sheets, this could mean the first month is paid around the 7th or 8th of the following month in which you started, I.E, you work from 1st August to 31 August, you can collect this salary on or by the 7th of Sept. That is how a few companies with big workforces do it, you need to talk to your employer if they are taking longer, the upside is that he following month is paid on the 7th also, so the wait is only a 30 day wait, not like 37/38 the first time.
My salary payments are a little hit and miss, but I trust the company to pay within a reasonable time, howeverI changed all my S.O. dates to 15th as a precaution.
It is defiantly not a common practice, I have never heard that before, unless the company has a financial problems
