Salary Deduction for Qatar ID

Benediktus
By Benediktus

Hi Everyone!!

I'm just confused about the articles 33 & 37 of the Qatar Labor Law..

Article 33:
The person who is licensed to recruit workers from
abroad for others shall be prohibited from doing the
following:
1. To receive from the worker any sums representing
recruitment fees or expenses or any other cost.

Article 37:
Fees shall be imposed on the following:
1. The granting of the work permit and the renewal and replacement thereof.

Now, I just want to know if it is legal for my company to deduct from my salary payment for Qatar ID amounting to 1200QR every year??
Please advice.. Thanks you in advance..

The articles you mentioned has nothing to do with the money your Company is charging for RP Renewal.

It is against the Law in Qatar to deduct any amount from the workers for ID and Medical Card.

This is the obligation of the employer.

The reason why some people are being beaten is because they allowed to be beaten.

Take care
