PLEASE HELP

@MY : yeah,,,life's gud bro here too,,,,,enjoy & tc :)

and about not following what is written on the contract.

thanks much wild turkey, i will be ready from now on.

Anything in your contract that contradicts the Labor Law is NULL and VOID! Even if both parties have signed it. It would mean a breach of the law.

They MUST give you gratuity. It also in the Labor law. It doesn't have to be mentioned in the contract! The Labor Law is ABOVE any contract!

plus they're afraid about the new law ^_^

@britexpat @molten ; yeah i guess that is our only chance if they're not going to give what we deserve to get. I don't care what they'll do behind our back after it happens ..

thank you guys

@pirate: yeah, i think thats about to happen XD

@pirate: Thanks same to you hope you are doing well in Dubai.. :)

I am thinking to approach the ruler's office ........

Getting justice is next to impossible at certain places here ............... so better not to hit the wall to see if your skull breaks or not ..................

I would suggest going to the Human Rights commission .. You really have nothing to lose ..

Greeting to MY,,,,,sorry to hear sad story abt u,,,,,,i was previously working for almost such kind of $hit company owned by palestine,,,,,,i exited country last year peacefully though this $hit didnt gave me my experience cert. and simply made huge deductions in my final settlement amount,,,,,hope u wil b not going thru such issues later on,,,,,best of luck

i agree with you.

but people are afraid to do so because they won't know what the outcome will be.

Some people even receives threats and was made a bad story.

i don't wish any bad for these kind of employers but im just glad they got stuck in the middle of the arising crisis thats happening to them right now. XD

Sadly there are many employers / managers who still treat the workforce badly .. They should be named, shamed and prosecuted

thank you for your answers

yes it is stated in our contract that they will provide the air ticket and would cover the total cost but in reality they limited the cost until 1000 qar which is not stated in the contract.

about the gratuity, it wasn't stated on the contract, that is our most problem here. One of my colleague almost didn't get anything from her 3 years of service, but she fought and reached out to the labor, and when the labor called our employer, he was very furious and treated my colleague like a criminal and sent her out of the company right away without any formality, and spread bad rumors about her. -_-

I just wish all employers aren't like this.

As for the certificate, we will fight for it cause it is the only document that we can carry out after leaving the company.

The return flight doesn't have to be in the contract because it is in the Labor Law!

Article 57 Upon termination of the service of the worker the employer shall at HIS cost return him to the place from where he has recruited him at the commencement of the engagement or to any place agreed upon between the parties.

1. Most Definitely and it is part of every work contract in Qatar. You can claim your gratuity for 2 years as it is calculated on yearly basis.

2. Certificate of Employee can be issued any time by the management upon request. As it does not cost them any penny. :)

3. Refer to your contract document. Normally in Qatar, standard work contracts includes the clause of paying air tickets to the employee to return to their country after termination.

Hope this helps.

They must pay you the gratuity as long as you have worked more than a year.

You should request a certificate of employment and they would likely provide it

If they terminate you, then they have to pay your air fare.. You don't have to contribute

1)Gratuity is calculated on yearly bases so you will get it for two years it should be written in your contract..

2)Yes you can ask for the certificate its not a big deal for them.

3)not sure about that question again it will be in your contract that they are going to give you the ticket or not..
