I would like to add one more thing here .. to get this job most of them have paid huge amount back home to the recruiting agencies .. they might have to work for 2-3years to clear the debt back home .. Its slavery in the most cruel way .. help them if you can

Sorry what is the problem here. These guys are unskilled labour with no qualification requirement for their jobs. QR600 riyals is around 18,000 rupees in Sri Lanka which a hand some of money.. They get free accomodation and transported to and from work..

You can compare them with other qualified skilled workers.. You get what you are worth and what you agreed before you get here..

i think Qr.600.for new arrived nepalies is more good than the other cleaning company QATAR CLEANING COMPANY

they can get only 300.they work for long time now they can get Qr.500.per month and 100 for food allowance men and women...FILIPINO,NEPALIES,SRI LANKAN,BANGLADESHI, INDIANS,although they give their staff partime job from different GARDEN'S luckily they can get 25/35 per hour but still the company asking for transport fee for their staff...this company was really terrible they very poor accommodation's imagine 10 person's per room u can't sleep well with that kind of accommodation...i don't know why the goverment they allow to do this to the poor people.

They accepted the offer.

That means they are satified with it.

You would be more upset if you will know that in some Middle East companies they offered only equivalent to QR400 basic salary excluding food.

Surprised??

Well, welcome to Middle East!!

it`s pathetic! but as far as i know they pay for them overtime, and mostly they`re working for hotels. but the working hours is like s**t sometimes 14 to 17 hours per day. but the workers are ok with the condition. it`s better than nothing they said

the people , who deny their wages for 6 months and who deny proper accmmodiaton-water-sanitary faciltiies,, all pretend to be very highly religious , while talking !!!

they are just misusing religion for their pockets, just like the terrorists.

A true beleiver will never treat his fellowmen like this.
