By Attin Trebor

Can someone answer me straight Sirs...does expats have 20% salary increase of salary this January 2012? Since last December 2011 , Qatari's have their salary increased ...I heard it was 60% of their basic salary. Thus us expats have at least 20%? We also spend money here in Qatar ..and cost of living is going high here. Kindly answer me with sincerity and accuracy. If this is true I will show this to my company. Thanks

when in comes to pay hike...some gets an increase but not necessarily the 20% your talking about.

definitely no for the people who are really working hard. But for the people who are too lazy to actually work and just spend the entire day chatting with each other and checking their Blackberrys/iPhones, they get a whopping 60% increase in salary. Oh, the irony. enjoy your stay in Qatar. ^^

Hello dear friend, Regarding the increasing of expatriates salaries it is depend on the company which you are you workind for if your boss decide to increase or not,so the lately salaries increase from Government to Qatari citizens only & does not apply for expatirates. Good Luck to all

Nationals = Earning money to spend only

Expatriates = Spending life time to earn money only

Moral = A bird in the hand is worth than 2 in the bush.

Still I do not understand, whats that u want to show 2 ur company ?

the government increased the salary of the qatari workers.

You work in a company that is not owned fully by a qatari, and u don't have citizenship. Therefore... whatever u heard is wrong.

are you a Qatari Sir?...so it was just a rumor..i thought sooo
