14Th Feb not a Public holday ?

I'm looking forward to a nice day off watching sport on TV ;)

actions should be taken against those companies who cheat their employees misleading them and do not give them holiday tomorrow..... is sports to be enjoyed only by the people who are in reputed companies or government agencies and not by the expatriats working in a smaller firms??? if not, fine those companies who do not abide the Emir's decision.

It's a holiday here :)

Conpused about my company, i show them the Emir's Order, but feel like they don't want to follow..

Well i am not going tomorrow, let them cut my one day salary :/

We received a memo this afternoon that we dont have work tomorrow!! yahooo!!!.. so that means i can join the marathon for tomorrow! c",)

enjoy the hoiday!

Finaly my company announced Holiday after deducting one day from 3days Special Leave....

stupids ........

www.qatarliving.com/node/2578001. show this to your manager.

tommorrow is on holiday.. if not fine will be 50,000 Qatar riyals. complain to labour department.. without putting your own name...

You can inform the ministry by inviting them to visit your place tomorrow. But I doubt they can't do that since maybe they want to enjoy their holiday too.

i have work tomorrow.......(happy V- day!)

WTH,

Why are there companies working tomorrow even if they know it's a bank holiday, and most companies are closed! I would understand if these are retail stores.

Who are they going to deal with tomorrow?

They should pay you double because of that,

I guess if a company does not support Emiri's decision then they should be fined! Come one, too few people to enjoy this day with!

I work in a private company and tomorrow is holiday for us. Let's all participate on the first ever National Sports Day. Im' sure there will lots of events & surpises.

Still waiting for notice from my company

Even I give all of these above details to HR, and this building only we are coming tomorrow for work ...

if it is a illegal how we will inform to this ministry ???

Well, sad to say we have work tomorrow. I was so disappointed since all over the news they're saying that tomorrow is a public holiday. And I even have plans for tomorrow's activities. :(
