Housing Allowances for Workers Under Family Visa

Hi Guys

 

I'm an accounting staff in one of the so called -Q companies which means not really Q lolz I cannot disclose it otherwise I will be kick out tomorrow. Last year we got an increase for the housing allowance but unfortunately that allowance they called it as Temporary Housing Allowance to everybody and take note even in the payslip it is mentioned as "Temporary or THRA" . All of our surprise especially who are in family sponsorship they withdrew that THRA from us since they said we are on family visa either husband or father and they can afford to support us but the volume of work given to us and those who are under company sponsor are almost the same. So until today nothing happened for that amount which was removed from our payslip either take it or leave it. They want to compare this company to other major Q companies but these Q companies they give a very good basic salary even without allowances.

As of today I could not still imagine why our management is still blind for the cost of living in Qatar.

 

Is there anybody here who is under husband/father sponsorship who doesn't get housing allowance ?

HRA : for those who are on husband/father sponsorship is not applicable.b.c. there is no meaning having two HRA and staying in one house.
