' In addition to any sums to which the worker is entitled upon expiry of his service, the employer shall pay the end of service gratuity to the worker who has completed one year or more.
This gratuity shall be agreed on by the two parties, provided it is not less than a 3 week wage for every year of service.
The worker shall be entitled to gratuity for the fractions of the year in proportion to the duration of employment...
The last basic wage shall be the basis for the calculation.
The employer is entitled to deduct from the service gratuity the amount due to him by the worker'END
You should be aware that The Labor Law stipulates the minimum entitlements of the workers, so any contract which offers less than in the law is invalid.(Article 4)
However, government organizations do not follow the Labor Law, but it would be unusual if they provided less than guaranteed in the Labor law.
just query. if in a govt job, the contract says, no end of service benefit to be given. in that case, can one ask its emplotyer for the benefit as per qatari labour law? My cousin got such contract two years back. can he ask his employer to amend or not?
No it is not true... The Labor law was ammended in 2006. every worker has the right for 21 days as End of Service for each complete year of service, but you have no right for Encashment unless you are leaving your job.
