so based on your logic, if it takes 4hrs to commute to work you will turn around and go home after checking in.

LP... I wonder what the speach would be if arrested? "you do not have the right to remain silent and anything we make you say will be twisted and held against you in a court of law"

You have no rights at all, in Qatar. Wake up.

uricane: Nope. You live in Al Khor and you work in the Industrial Area, is that correct? Time that you are not working cannot be charged as overtime. Otherwise, you could move to India and charge both the flight price and time to the company and just never work.

Raven and drmana: can you imagine if commute time was included in the work day? I would take the scenic route to work every day and limit the amount of time in the office.

at epicurean hahaha I was thinking the same thing...and drmana exactly mate when has commuting time ever been part of working time, in ANY part of the world...

Commuting time to be included in work time? You must be joking.

Why does it take you 1.5 hours to travel 35km? Are you walking?

Your employer never has an obligation to give you an NOC. Commuting time is not considered work time.
