Hi..

i have signed offer letter from QP as Field Operator 1 (grade 7) in Production Dukhan on 22 November 2007

Unfortunately, my grade in Total was increased 1 level on January 2008

I just resign from Total Indonesie to take this job after visa has been issued, i've been more than 4years in Total as Field Operator

The Basic salary offered only QR 4600, i cant get nice negotiate with QP directly due to no Administration Interview during Reqruitment Test and the offer letter only by email through our sponsor. They only gave 10 days for signing.

I regret after heard that my Total friend worked as Electricial technician for 4years and no experience for working as operator has been recruited by Qatar Gas which BS US$ 2,500, 35days off-35 days on, free ticket back to Indonesia and got BS during off duty

 

thank you for your attention and submitting comment my following questions...

1. How much the standard range BS comparing my experience??

2. Is it possible to re-negotiate after arrival in Qatar??

3. Could i move to other qatar companies??

4. Is there posibility that BS offered has been plaid by our man power supply agency??

MY FRIEND AGAIN, IT'S NEVER TOO LATE, IF THIS SERVICE COMPANY WHICH OFFERED YOU2X QP OFFER THINK SERIOUSLY ABOUT IT, AND IF THE SERVICE COMPANY IS THE BIG BLUE THEN THINK TWICE.

 

AT THE END THE WELL TEST SUPERVISOR JOB IS A GOOD ONE.

AS USUAL NOVITA77 IS THE FIRST TO ANSWER, IT'S SO GREAT HOW YOU ALWAYS BE THE FIRST IN HELPING PEOPLE.

 

AS I'M WORKING IN THE OILFIELD, AND BOTH QP & QATARGAS ARE MY CLIENTS, I THINK I CAN ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS:

 

1. How much the standard range BS comparing my experience??

I THINK YOU SHOULD GET PAID BETWEEN 15K-25K IN A COMPANY LIKE QP OR QATARGAS, EVEN THE BS FOR YOUR FRIEND IN QATARGAS IS LOW (SORRY). 

 

2. Is it possible to re-negotiate after arrival in Qatar??

I DON'T THINK IT'S POSSIBLE TO NEGOTIATE AFTER YOU COME HERE, SINCE YOU WON'T BE ALLOWED TO COME BEFORE SIGNING, AND AFTER YOU SIGN IT THERE WON'T BE ANY NEGOTIATING.

IN GENERAL, YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE RESIGNED FROM TOTAL BEFORE YOU SIGN ANOTHER CONTRACT, IT WOULD HAVE MADE YOUR SITUATION STRONGER FOR NEGOTIATING.

3. Could i move to other qatar companies??

IT DEPENDS ON YOUR CONTRACT RULES AGAIN, AND YOUR SPONSOR IN QATAR IN THE FIRST PLACE, IF HE AGREES TO GIVE YOU NOC (NO OBJECTION CERTIFICATE) THEN YOU CAN MOVE TO ANOTHER COMPANY, IT WOULD BE NICE IF YOU ADD THIS AS A POINT IN YOUR CONTRACT. 

4. Is there posibility that BS offered has been plaid by our man power supply agency??

THIS IS UNLIKELY TO HAPPEN, SINCE YOU WILL BE GETTING PAID DIRECTLY FROM YOUR COMPANY HERE, AND HE SHOULDN'T HAVE ANY RELATION WITH YOU AFTER YOU SIGN, AND AFTER GETTING HIS COMMISION, I PRESUME THIS IS HOW IT WORKS WITH AGENCIES, OR MAY BE IT'S DIFFERENT CASE IN YOUR COUNTRY, WHY DON'T YOU GO AND CHECK WITH THEM?

 

THINK ABOUT IT VERY WELL BEFORE DECIDING

GOOD LUCK

Hi,

 

If one has dual nationalities and is holding two nations' passports (legally), could (s)he apply for sponsorhip with a new employer using the passport that has no RP from existing employer, while (s)he keeps working?

Also look at location.... Raslaffan/Mesaieed/Doha and its housing is always better than dukhan.

 

QP is not very good in paying salary compared to other companies especially avoid taking offer for dukhan site.

Your friend who is working in Qatargas must be working in offshore, offshore salaries are always higher than onshore. Your basic salary plus you will be getting transportation allowance, location allowance, shift allowance etc...accommodation will be provided for  those who are working in locations like Dukham, Raslaffan etc.. You cannot negotiate your salary after singing the contract. But You will be getting an yearly increment. percentage varies from 3 to 10 %.  

You cannot move to another company as you cannot get release from QP.

Salary advance - 50% advance in early month & will be decucted from your monthly pay.

Negotiate  only before accepting offer..

Salary advance - 50% of your Basic salary. You may apply for salary advance.

Eventhough engaged indifinite contract periode (somebody said this is permanent employee) with 3months probation periode, is it no chance to negotiate?

In the copy of Standard Terms & Condition they gived,

-There is once per year salary review, merital increase, and bonuses depend on performance

-Salary Advance,

Newly recruited employees from ouside qatar may on arrival be granted an advance against slary on application. Such advances will be up to 50% of BS and will be covered in two installments from two salary periods following the employee's arrival in Qatar

How about this??

1. How much the standard range BS comparing my experience??

Don't know but QP pay some of the lower salaries in the region. Some other companies here pay double that.

 

2. Is it possible to re-negotiate after arrival in Qatar??

 

Not a chance. Once you are here you fate is sealed.

 

3. Could i move to other qatar companies??

 

No chance again, especially in oil and gas

 

 

4. Is there posibility that BS offered has been plaid by our man power supply agency??

 

Very unlikely. YOu should be employed direct with QP not through a manpower agency. QP will pay them a fee for your placement.

i dont know what to advice ... but beware with the system of 'exit permit' in Qatar. Once you are here, if the company not giving an exit permit, you wont be able to leave the country for WHATEVER REASON.
