The simple advice is go to the Human Rights Commission and file a case with the Labour Court

Good luck

Since you have filed a resignation and desire to return home, you can always seek the help of the Labour office to get all your dues. For this you must have a copy of the legalized contract from the company. But first go to the Human Rights Committee and seek their help before approaching the Labour Office.

Sue, Take it with cool mind, other wise you will be singled out , talk to top manager if he refuses you to listen then look for work elsewhere than starting a fight here ............. Good luck ...................

Two things here,

1- You cannot work more than 10 hours a day as per law.

2- Any overtime worked is paid at 1.25 times of normal pay rate on weekdays and 1.5 times on Fridays.

Yes, you can first speak with the company accountant, and if he does not understands it, ask any of your friend to come and explain to him the overtime calculation.

Overtime is always calculated on per hour/per day basis. You can also read your employment contract, that shall clarify it.

If your basic salary is like Qar. 3,000, it to be divided by 30 days and then by 8 hours thereby reaching to Qar. 12.50 per hour. Then add 25% with it i.e. 3.12 =

12.50 + 3.12 = 15.62 per hour, per day, so for 30 days your overtime shall be 15.62 x 30= Qar. 468.60 for one month.

This over time is separate and in addition to your salary.
