IT IS A FACT, YOU KNOW WHY? 80% OF THE COMPANY HERE IN QATAR DEPENDS ON CLIENTS THAT DEPENDS ON FINANCIAL HELP ON CONSTRUCTION, IN OTHER WORDS, IF THE BANK STOPS GIVING MONEY OR LENDING TO THE BORROWER LIKE YOUR COMPANY, THATS THE TIME THAT YOU OR OUR SALARY IS DELAYED...GOT ME.... WE USED TO IT A MONTH DELAY... NOT TOTAL LIKE OTHER COMPANY DOES....COUNT YOUR FOOT FINGER

People have different views regarding this matter. There are companies who are very serious about the issues of their workers and their conditions but at the same time there are those whom even the devil will not accommodate in hell. I was also curious about this issue and came accross this video at http://www.qatarliving.com/node/458706 .

I hope it will answer your query.

yes it is really delayed on some construction companys from 7 days to three months that is why there is a term "ATM" means after three months..

Hi. It is a common practice in Qatar. Seldom companies pay on time. If you are lucky enough, you will be employed by one of them.

Heard that government of Qatar is going to introduce certain rules into that effect. Wait and see ......

Good luck

This depend from comapny to company. Mostly with well know & reputed companies this doesn't happen as its the question of reputation & but companies who are new or very small there r chances of salaries not being paid on time.
