Dear Qatarliving users,

I have been working for one of the companies based here in Qatar for less than 6 months and more than three months. I want to resignate and go back to my country, untill now I have not signed the contract yet and I have only the offer letter. how many days should I give them as a notice to my resignation? I still owe them some money.

Please advice.
Many thanks indeed

easy! just tell them i want to go back. cancel me. i just dont like the job neither the country. if they refuse, jump in a karwa and go to the human rights office and explain to them everything, or the easiest way, get ur pans off in the street and within a week u will be back home in ur room relaxin :P

thank you all for your friendly responses. I have not shown any intention that I will resign yet, should I ask them to sign a contract then I will resign so that I can guarantee my rights?. from what I feel I think they want to probate me for 6 moths then they will decide but I do not like all this, it's better for me to go back and relax from all these things.

Usually the longest probationary period is 6 months, but before you started to work in any company you must sign a contract first... and really I don't know how they can transfer your visa under their sponsorship without contract!!!

You can leave without prior notice, just submit your resignation, ask them to prepare your exit permit and do not to go to work the following day. But you will not able to get your money in this company. Anyway, they can deny their commitment to you, also in the end they may not give you your final settlement or other compensation! So better talk to your HR Manager/ GM regarding your concern and ask them your status to the company, and at least give you reason why until now there is no contract until this time and when they will provide it.

Contract is the only security we have as expats!!!

Really thanks for you interaction with the subject. I was brought here with another company and I worked for it one year and some few months before I found this new company that i want to resign from; I transferred my sponsorship to it. some of you ask me how come they owe me money and I have not signed the contract yet, the answer is that they give me only almost %80 of the salary that we agreed upon at the first time. they promised me that they will compensate me for the other %20. Should I give them one month notice even if we haven't signed a contract yet?

Thank you all,

Why didn't u sign the contract?

what makes u work with the company without signing the contract?

If they tell u that they don't owe u anything what will u do since u didn't sign the contract?

Why do u want to resign ?

why dont u share ur whole issue here so people can help you?

give ur company 1 month as a notice!

it depends on the company..if not contract is signed then no commitment yet..i am not sure how you them money if you have not signed yet?

in any case, you should speak to the person who owns the decision as he or she could give exception if there is a justification or mutual agreement considering your situation..Ganbatte!

really thank you for your prompt answer. I mean they owe me some money they are the one who should give me the money. what about the air ticket they will pay it for me if I cancelled my visa?

If you haven't signed a contract, probably you're still under probation. The notice period is usually 2 weeks.

And if you owe them money, you better pay them back if you want your exit permit approved.
