Salary and Employment Benefits in Doha Qatar
By salem blog •
Salaries in Qatar are more or less similar to that in western nations. But, given the lack of personal taxation, net income is usually higher, and this is one of the major attractions of working in Qatar.
During the past, remuneration packages were divided into various elements like basic salary, car allowance, housing allowance, medical cover, children education and air tickets for home visits. Today, however, employers just pay a salary to cover all these expenses, although in few cases, there are other bonuses too.

The post shows just the "bright side " of Qatar. Also, the salary brackets the writer has stated does not reflect the salaries of over 80% of the work force in Qatar. Many of them work under 9K and most of them under 2K.
Daniel is right in stating that are many companies in Qatar who know the loopholes in the system and they do not pay salaries for several consecutive months, or not at all. Then there are such companies that do not issue a Contract to their employees and when the suffering employee approaches the Labour Court, the absence of the Contract causes the case to collapse. The employee leaves with a sour mouth while the employer enjoys laughing out loud.
I faced a similar case when I took my company to the court. I lost the case as I was asked for the Contract which I did not have. The company was NOT questioned or penalized by the court for not issuing a Contract while in my complaint to the court I had included this point. That's how things work here and these are the ground realities.
Unfortunately there are lots of companies who pay salaries late or not at all.
