If it is not in your contract it does not matter. Law is law. If they refuse to give you your gratuity/ End of service benefits, then go to the labour dept with proof of your employment period/tenure. They will then contact your employer instructing them to pay.
No need to pay for legal advice. All employment contracts are under Qatar Law whether stated in the contract or not.
Some employers try it on in hope that a percentage of employees either do not know their rights or are too scared to act.
Issue a letter to your employer requesting for your end of service gratuity. If he fails to respond or gives a negative response, or uses delay tactics, issue another letter stating that you are now forced as a result of non payment to lodge a formal complaint with the labour dept.
As said above, go with docs to the dept and they will sort it out.
They may pay up before you have the chance to go and some employers are alert to the fact that records of such matters are kept by the dept.
