Private companies don't obey the law

Pacifier

I couldn't find the answer. Maybe somebody knows.

Private employers say "law don't let me pay you more than 8 hours a day, and no more than 2 hours overtime, but you have to work as much as I say".

And it is often 12 or more hours per day.

Is there any activity undertaken by officials to control what private companies do to their workers?
(They could collect some money from penalties.)

Or is it allowed to private employers to do whatever they want?
(If worker reports something, he gets fired.)

... but i was using it because perfectly well describes what we can expect from authorities about controlling private companies.

KHATTAK, I fully respect you, admire you , and owe you "copyrights" for that signature. It hits the point directly.

Thanks!

Pacifier...The phrase, "One More Meaningless Post..... One More Useless Point" was not directed at you. If you notice...it's been seperated by a line to show that its just a signature line which would appear with every post of mine. I hope you understand.

I apologize for "One More Meaningless Post..... One More Useless Point".

I didn't know that before posting.

So, the only thing to do is spread the word out of Qatar.

Publicity.

Help others know BEFORE they come. If you are already here it is too late.

Thank you, ladies and gentlemen.

Reformer, why we need "employees self made laws"?

Qatari Law would be perfectly enough.
