Qatar to cut salaries at health council
Qatar's Supreme Council of Health has announced that salaries of its non-Qatari employees will be reduced by 10% to 50% once their job contracts expire, the Peninsula has reported. The move is part of a massive overhaul of the Council which is to be completed by June-end. SCH currently has 1,280 employees, 508 of whom are expatriates.

***Do you think, other organizations would also follow their food steps?***
***What impacts do you believe will this have on the Expats?***
***Is this action Justified?***
***Any one on QL who fall in this category & can share feelings?***
That was for an expatriate with about 14 yrs experience
I heard that a specialist who is currently working in Saudi has been offered 75,000 QR per month by HMC.
This country is a JOKE!! Get your prioities right Qatar, there is a shortage of qualified doc's and specialists now, and you go and reduce salaries for the expats by 10-50%...good luck in trying to recruit....

they are saying salries will be reduced,imagine if some said,u have been over paid all these years,so you reimburse it back by working without taking any ......
Thats OK .. according to me, those people were getting paid for nothing .. or atleast i could say they were over paid
Healthcare sector is one of the highly paid sector in many countires...we can expect Monkeys now...
Now , that would improve the health sector here!!!
i wonder how will HMC maintain their JCI?
There have been many local complains about how HMC has shortage of proffisional consultants recently. And how it's nearly impossible to get appointments with the very few left.
Even many Qatari specialists/consultants no longer work at HMC and now work at private clinics, ASPETAR , SIDRA or run thier own practice
There is more to it than meets the eye.
Does this news covered in Qatar Dailies...
Is it recessionary effect or cost of living is decreasing? what justification authority provides?
wow....time moves reverse here. No increase can be justified but why decrease?
i think NHA is now SCH...
anyway, that's sad news for us :(
probably they are trying to uniform SCH salary and NHA...NHA pay is in par or more than many other Govt Organizations.
I guess, as per this council's understanding, Expatriates are supposed to work for a sum that could only afford them Food, Cloth & Shelter...! any comfort or lavish living only a Qatari deserves, regardless he/she works or not.
JUST IMAGINE...upto 50% ????!!!
Thats too bad for those 508 expatriates. Probably time for them to explore other choices.
oh yes.. do it only for the expats who does the whole job.
*oh that was supposed to be "foot steps"! :D
