It is not QAR.800. Total expense comes up to 4000-4500 a month: accommodation, food, clothes, medical insurance and medicaments, vacation, etc. Hundreds of thousands of workers in Qatar are employed by the companies with similar salaries.
Although there are a lot of cases when the maid runs away due to harsh conditions, there are plenty who still runs away from very warm and welcoming families, because someone promised them a "heaven in Qatar"… then these maids get vanished, stay on expired visas, become illegal, and who knows where and how they live... I know such cases. My friend used to have a maid. My friend has provided her with everything, treated her equally... This maid started buying lands in her home country form her “miserable” salary… when the maid was leaving for her vacation, my friend bought for her family back home the entire extra suitecase of the gifts. When the maid came back from her vacation, she brought 7-8 photos of her relatives who expressed a high desire to be hired as maids in Qatar. One year later this maid run away, because someone has promised her QAR.200 more.. Who knows where is this maid now, how does she live, and IF she is alive at all... For me, everything should be done by the rules. If the maid doesn't like her conditions, and wants to terminate her employment agreement, she has to be equipped with clear information, and tools of how to act in such situations. Running away or attempting a suicide is not a solution... starting the process of "changing the job" this awful way will lead them to only worse situation.
