Does gratuity and annual leave pay are different? For example i finished 1 year, am i entitled to get only gratuity or can i get leave salary and gratuity if i resign?

Hi,Just be very careful. If your company askes you to take some extra " long leave" & you go back to your home country, there's a good possibility that you'll miss out on this payment - unless you can get back into the country to claim it.

Only a small number of companies doing this in the down turn, but worth keeping in mind.

Article 54 of Qatar Labour Law states that:

In addition to any sums to which the worker is entitled to upon the expiry of his service, the employer shall pay the end of service gratuity to the worker who has completed employment of one year or more. This gratuity shall be agreed upon by the two parties, provided it is not less than a thre-week wage for every year of employment. The worker shall be entitled to gratuity for the fractions of the year i proportion to the duration of employment.

Tha last basic wage shall be the base for the calculation of the gratuity.
