To avaya,

gratuity is effective from 01 Jan 2005 and not for peroids earlier than that , unless expressly mentioned in ones contract so the calculation would be

01.01.2005 to 31.12.2011 = 21 x 7 = 147days only

Good day everyone, I like this conversation and it happen I'll be needing some expert's advise. Here is my case. I have a three yr contract that will end on July 2013. My contract entitles me for 21 days gratuity per yr and 1month paid vacation with ticket annually. I am planning to resign this yr due to uncertain event at home thought it's not that serious, the only question is when. Pls tell me what I am entitled to if I resign before my 2nd yr is due say end of May. I am sure that Gratuity will be provided in pro rated amount but Will I still receive a pro rated value of my annual leave pay including ticket cost or will you suggest me to wait till July so I could encash my annual leave before filling a resignation a month later. Also, I am concerned with the deduction they might do since I have not completed my 3 yrs contract so please advise which legal and standard deduction should I expect. Thank you very much.

ishu369... I just read it & FYI, I'm under article 67 because I resign so it's unlawful if they delays me for two weeks especially because they are the one paying my ticket which is included in the benefits that I'm entitled too but thanks for the time.

Well, I was victimized by cupid... Nah, just kidding. ishu369... Thanks by the way I do know that two weeks is the max limit to delay any one from the date of resignation & one month from the cancellation of visa the company is going to get penalized. Sorry if it bothers anyone but I just want to weigh my options...

By ishu369• 17 Jan 2012 20:23
ishu369

well cupid: unfortunately the law doesn't say anything about this.

this is under the discretion of the employer, except if you get delayed for a longer period for no reason, you can approach any government bodies. but again if you've been paid all the benefits by the company, you can expect the least help in this regard

Who is the real victim over here, Veni or Cupid?? I'm pretty confused...

By Cupid s_Victim• 17 Jan 2012 19:40
Cupid s_Victim

ishu369... That's kind of unfair I mean they're already got a month for all this & still I could get delay. It's not like they'll be giving me allowance for food & stuff if they "wont" try to get a ticket for two weeks, right? It's an obvious kind of sabotage on their part.

if the company is issuing your ticket then they can delay it till there is a cheaper ticket or an affordable price which is common with some companies.

they pay you only till the last date of your work as per the resignation or cancellation of contract.

Gratuity is paid @ 21 days per year which is calculated on your last basic salary. In your case u said that you are working for the last 6 years here in Qatar with a gross salary of QR.5000/month. So let us assume your date of joining is January 01, 2004 and your basic salary is QR.4000. If so, the calculation is as follows:

01.01.2004 to 31.12.2011 = 21x8 = 168 Days

So your gratuity is calculated as = 4000x168x12/365 = QR.22,093.15

Apart from this, your employer should provide a ticket to your home country.

The notice period up to 5 five years from the date of joining is 1 month and above that, 2 months.

In your case the notice period is 2 months.

Gratuity/indemnity is settled net of any staff receivables/recoveries.

Very Frankly saying, Don't think about legal action. it will never work.

gratuity per year is of 21 days. So if you didn't took it previously, you will get all your dues. Try to find a median solution. insha Allah everything will be fine

ishu369... The 1 month notice is for the op for me can my company delay me without them being liable because I already filed my resignation & expect to leave on the day I terminated my contract so If they delay me for 3 days are they required to pay me? Because some employes in my company were delayed for more than two weeks without getting payed though they've got the said benefits. I don't want to get stuck here for a few days so if they can be held responsible they'll be forced to do their job correctly. If there's any...

if those employers do not go by labour court ,they can be blacklisted.

every company is liable to give 21 days annual vacation and 21 days indemnity/gratuity minimum upon completion of one year.

some companies to avoid this terminate the staff in 11 months.

and others mostly dont pay anything to the ignorant labors and junior staff that they dont get their rights.

you can approach the Human rights department and the labor department who help the expat in such cases.

@ cupid-s_victim: any resignation or termination should serve a months notice except if you are terminated in your probation period (first 6 months usually). Also employees who have completed 5 years or more need to serve 2 months notice.

the company is liable to pay only the notice period, the pending vacation balance if any and the indemnity calculated on the last earned basic salary.

hope this helps

You're required to provide 1 month notice before you resign so you called get all your benefits. I think at least 75% of your salary x years of service is your gratuity plus all your vacation leave & etc, Im not sure though but most probably it's going to be like that...

I have a question my self & it is related here though I already posted it to questions & answers but it seems no one is really visiting that part of QL so...

My company got this habit of delaying people from the date of resignation so they obviously knows about the two weeks max limit of Qatar labor code's article 57. My question would be, is there a law regarding my company being liable or giving me a just compensation starting from the day I terminated my contract to the day I go back to my home country if they "accidentally" delays me for one or two days up?

A lot of people get screwed on this... remember that although 1 year of work is the minimum period to be able to receive this benefit, you get paid pro-rata for any periods exceeding the first year, including portions of a year.

Qatar labor law is made to protect the interest of Expats working in Qatar.min you can get 21 days vacation per year & 21 days gratuity per year of year worked.min should be one year of service.
