I'm forced by my employer to move in the company accommodation even if I'm married (my husband is no longer in Qatar but I have already applied for his visa) and I'm staying with my brother outside.
they can do that??? I have the rent paid until the end of the year!
what should I do? If anybody knows anything regarding this pls let me know!!
Thank u!

Hello again and thanx!

The company didn't provide me any housing allowance cuz they provided for my husband(this is the company policy)..but they fired him for nothing and now I'm entitled for housing...probably this is the reason for being asked to move into company accommodation.

Does anyone know which is the law that allows them to do that?

Thx!

If your concern is with regards to the accomodation allowance that would be cut off if you will be transferred to your company's accomodation, it depends on the contract that you signed. if the contract says that you are to receive accomodation allowance, then you can contest their decision to transfer you to the company's accom. because I'm sure they will remove your accom. allowance from your salary. but if your agreement says that accomodation shall be provided by the company, then all you can do is to bargain with them and hope that they will compromise.

You can move in, but you don't have to stay there!
