There is no doubt that workers must be paid as soon as possible, but so is the case for the sub contractors who too mostly do the work on labor charge basis, their laborers too have to be paid off at priority.

The fact is that almost all the contractors have insufficient capital base, which forces them to grab and use the monies of others, whether those are workers, suppliers or sub contractors, as a consequence everyone working at the lower level of ladder has to suffer massively.

There is a need to increase the capital base limit of a contracting company from current Qar. 200k to Qar. 2.000 M so as to address this issue effectively.

There should also be a committee that could receive the complaints of non payment covering a period of 6 months and over.
