Labour Law
By mahad_2010 •
According to the Labour law, a maximum of 40 hours per week should be carried out by any worker.
Some big companies implement this
But here all the Contracting Companies make their employers work for 9-10hours a day and 6 days a week WITHOUT ANY EXTRA BENEFIT.
I mean I can understand 9-10 hours a day but I dont understand why to work on the 6th day.... Its like u've been working the whole week....
Why doesnt the Labour Law implement here? Why doesnt the Ministry take notice of this?
some industry may differ. like , in business offices had a 2 day off in construction firm had also differ and most is the hospitality industry.
the hospitality industry some have 9 or 10 hrs of work depends the need of how busy but must paid as overtime as it sould be. but some of hospitality company dont apply on this rules for like some restaurant or cafe's.
as what they said, if no one will complain to the labor authority , complains will not be heard.
Qatar labor law allows up to 48 working hours per week.
Its 48 hrs per week. 8 hrs per day, 6 days a week. Its true that some of the construction companies are doing 10 hrs per day.

Wrong. It's 48 hours = 8 hours per day, 6 days per week
