How many days of maternity leave officially granted in Qatar as per rules?
I will be coming to Qatar with my pregnant wife soon. We will both have individual working visa since we both work for the same firm and are coming to Qatar to work as individuals.
Once we get our individual RP, can someone tell me how many days maternity leave is officially granted under the rules of Qatar government? If you can specify the number of days before and after delivery, that would be great.
Can you also let me know how many days leave is the father able to take officially....if any?
Kindly advise.
dear 50 days but is depend on your were your wife is working or how many years your wife working on that company me 4 years im working on my prebius work their give me 50 days maternity leave with pay.good luck hope this helf you guys...........
From what I understand, according to Qatar Labour Law, your wife has to be employed by a company for one full year before being able to avail of Maternity leave. As for Paternity leave, I'm pretty sure that concept is unheard of here.
Maternity leave is usually 50 working days, and can be taken before and/or after delivery. I don't think there is a specification for how much can be taken before or after, it all depends on your supervisor's approval.
I suggest you speak to the HR dept of your soon-to-be company and sort these details out.
