Remuneration package & probationary period ??
Hi,
I have been offered a job in Qatar. The remuneration package includes a QR 17,000 basic salary plus QR 5500 monthly housing and QR 800 transportation allowance as well as QR 55,000 furniture allowance that will be paid once every 4 years. Also, it includes Medical, education, and annual air passage.
However, the offer indicated that I shall be under 6 months probationary period which starts on actual joining date.
Do you consider this a good package?. Also, when shall I be eligible for the above allowances(furniture, housing, etc..)? at my joining date or do I have to complete 6 months probationary period first?
Please advise..
Many thanks nnasrawi,
Any idea yow much will cost me to furnish a 2 Bedrooms Apartment (approximate range)?
Regards,
Hi adil69,
I think that the probationary period should be maximum of three months and housing allowance will we is little low, however you should be aware that unfurnished apartment will cost you from
Q.R. 5500 - Q.R. 7000 and unfurnished villa from Q.R. 10000 - Q.R. 12000. if your employer will offer you the accommodation in your probationary period, you will be eligable to the housing allowance and furniture allowance after your probationary period, other wise, it should be processed upon joining. you should check if they are gonna offer you free interest loan to help you buying car.
wish you good luck.
regards,
... is ok. Housing allowance should be a bit higher.
Unless your sponsor indicates they're going to house you in temporary housing I think you're eligible for the allowances upon arrival and taking up the job. However you would be liable to pay them back if after 6 months they decide to let you go.
But why don't you ask your sponsor.
