"All i know is they removed many allowances including transport and cut on housing allowance...

I dont know y but this is true.. COntradicts what came in the papers that govt employees getting a salary raise bout 18%.."

Not necessarily a contradiction.

Let's say your basic salary was 10,000 and you got allowances of 10,000. Your monthly *salary* is still 10,000, but you pay/compensation each month is 20,000.

But if your allowances have been cut to zero, and your basic salary rises to 11,800, then your *salary* has been raised by 18%, even if you pay packet per month has in effect decreased.

This is what has happened to Qatari government employees across almost every department.
