Family Allowance Requirements
Good day Guys!
So here is my case,
Iam Working for an Engineering Company here in doha and my wife works in a Government Clinic. She has a single accommodation from the company which she is not using because we are renting a room, also another room for her mom.
And now we are applying for Family Housing Allowance from her company. Requirements are:
1. She will surrender her single housing provided by her company (check)
2. Present RP of her Husband(me) Working here in Qatar (check)
3. Present attested Documents for marriage (check)
4. Ask for a Letter from husband's company stating that husband is not receiving family allowance----- not check
So that is my question,my company doesn't want to provide the letter,when I got hired ,the job package included Housing allowance(SINGLE STATUS). but when I got interviewed by our company HR manager, I clearly indicated that before I sign the offer letter, I need to request a letter from the company stating that Iam not receiving any housing allowance from the company, In order for us to get the Family allowance from my wife's government company. Which by the way equal to the amount of my Salary. The HR manager even noted it on my CV at that time. But when I signed they still had the Housing allowance indicated on the contract. And now he is saying that it is under the law that when they hire , housing needs to be included in the salary. and they are refusing to provide a letter stating im not receiving any housing allowance.
But right now im trying to get a letter stating that Iam receiving a "Single's/Bachelors Allowance" and HR is yet to reply.
Any advise is greatly appreciated.
All dudes in HR, hahaha, I am persistent when requesting, email everyday. but always with respect to them. As ive told you, i tell them its not for me but for my family. I just hope this can be resolved. Thanks a bunch for the information
Hi MM checked out Sheen services, it seem that they only provide service for request regarding Visa, Attestations and Translations. Anyway, I sent an email to them about my situation lets see if they can help. Otherwise, are there any other private or government agencies that can give professional advice regarding my situation?
Tammi, That's the perfect way, hope you get that doc from HR ...... be soft with HR girls they will sure do a favour to you ............ Good luck & joys .........................................
Yes, if I can get the family allowance and release my single allowance from my company, its okay, we can save an additional 1000 for our savings.
Thank you MM for the info, will contact sheen services...

You can only get family allowance from one source it seems
