This is a decision taken by the govermment and google won't help because the government doesn't publish things like this. I know because that's the first thing I tried.

Salaam,

Why can't you raise this with the management,, may be they are waiting for the employees to ask for it ?

"As per labour law it is 3 working days." Is that the law? Then I will insist on Sunday. Monday, and Tuesday off, and I will take Wednesday and Thursday, too, because it makes no sense to come in for two days. Thanks, cherukkan.

:( I belong to a company that does not follow any qatar labor law... no overtime pay, we work 8hrs a day during Ramadan and I am also sure the company I work will make us go to work on Eid holidays :(

As per labour law it is 3 working days and If you are not working normally on Saturdays then it will be possibly from Friday to Tuesday. If you are normally working on Saturdays it will be from Friday to Monday. Some Companies follow the labour law but there are a lot of Private Companies giving only one or two days.

plus the 26th and 27th - so it's 5days Holidays!

According to my secret agent it's Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Make sure your company gives you Sunday off!

depends on the management, generally and as per labour law it is three working days starting from the first day of Eid, management of each company can extend it as per their policies
