Salary and Employment Benefits in Doha Qatar- कतारको नया रोजगार पारिश्रमिक,नीति,फाइदा.........

Salary and Employment Benefits in Doha Qatar

Salaries in Qatar are more or less similar to that in western nations. But, given the lack of personal taxation, net income is usually higher, and this is one of the major attractions of working in Qatar.
During the past, remuneration packages were divided into various elements like basic salary, car allowance, housing allowance, medical cover, children education and air tickets for home visits. Today, however, employers just pay a salary to cover all these expenses, although in few cases, there are other bonuses too.

Indemnity

Apart from their salary, contract workers are awarded an ‘indemnity’ at the end of the contract period. The indemnity is calculated on the basis of basic salary (excluding bonuses). For those working in Qatar for a long time, indemnity can be a lot of money, as several people manage to accumulate considerable financial backup or live the high life. The indemnity is not related to insurance, but it is more of an end-of-the-term bonus, and is required by law to be paid to expatriate workers thanking them for serving the state. It is also known as ‘end-of-contract benefits’ or ‘end-of-service’ benefits. The indemnity scales are in the range 15 to 20 days of basic pay per year of employment for the first three years, and a month’s pay every year, thereafter.

Gratuity

A worker is entitled to an end of service gratuity, upon expiry of his service. The worker should have completed atleast five years of employment. The gratuity will be agreed upon by the two parties, provided it is not less than three-week wages for each year of employment (and if one exceeds 5 years of service, gratuity could even be calculate at 30 days per year). The last drawn basic wage will be the base for calculation of gratuity. The employer is entitled to deduct from service gratuity, the amount due to him by the worker, if any.

Leave

Annual leave

The employer usually fixes the date of annual leave for the worker as per the work requirements and may divide the leave with the consent of the worker, provided, it should not be divided for more than two periods. In case the employee submits a written application for postponement of the annual leave, it can be postponed to next year, but, it should not be more than half of the annual leave. Some companies also offer payment in lieu of annual leave of the employee, equivalent to the wage of the employee for the leave days for which he is entitled, in case the contract is terminated before the worker claims his leave.
Generally, after one year of continuous service, employee is eligible for an annual paid leave of at least three weeks if the service is less than five years, and at least four weeks if the service is more than five years.

Sick Leave

As an employee, you are eligible for paid sick leave, but, this can be availed only on completion of three months in service, and on producing a medical certificate. You will be paid full wage, if your sick leave does not exceed two weeks.

Others

Apart from annual leave, you will be offered leave for Eid Al Fitr, Eid Al Adha, Independence Day, National Sports Day and other festive days as specified by the employer. Muslim employees are also eligible for pilgrimage leave without paying for maximum two weeks during the period of employment. Also, female employees can avail of maternity leave (50 days) on completion of one year of service.

The average monthly salary in the private sector was QR6,883, which is more than thrice less than average in the government sector (QR22,781), while in semi-government a pay of about QR18,700 is expected, and about QR2,548 for domestic employee, the findings revealed.

Salary forecast for 2015

The Gulf Business Salary Survey has revealed that Qatar is the second best paying nation in the GCC after Saudi Arabia, while the latest figures from Aon Hewitt Global Salary Increase Survey indicate a strong and growing economy. The global talent, retirement and health solutions business reveals that companies across Qatar are showing an average pay increase of 5.2 percent in the year 2015. Although the figure is slightly lower than during 2014 and 2013 (5.6%), employees were given an average of only 5.1 percent increase in 2014.

Meanwhile, the Cost of Living Reports Middle East forecast reveals that businesses in Qatar are likely to tighten their belts when it comes to spending on salaries this year, with majority saying they expect to increase wages this year by a smaller rate than a year before.

Such a prediction comes amidst continuous growth in cost of living in Qatar, particularly, with regards to rental accommodations, which implies that people working here have less money in their pockets towards the month-end.

The latest figures from Aon Hewitt, a global recruitment organization showed that employees in Qatar may have slightly lower increase than its peers in the region, with Saudi Arabia and Oman projecting 5.4 percent growth, and Kuwait 5.3 percent. But, with 4.8 percent and 4.5 percent projections, the UAE and Bahrain’s increases are less than Qatar.

How to Get a Working Visa for Qatar

In Qatar you need a visa to work in the country or if you are a partner or family member of someone who intends working there you will also need a visa. In order to process your visa you will need a Qatar national to act as your sponsor. As all businesses in Qatar are owned by citizens of Qatar it is normally your new employer who will also be your sponsor.

Once you have secured employment your new employer will apply for a NOC certificate for you and this will then be stamped onto your passport before entering Doha Airport. You must have this before you can enter the country. Once this is done you then need to apply for a residence Visa and this normally takes two to six weeks and if you have to leave the country during this period you will have to start all over again.

A residency visa lasts for two years but sometimes it may only be granted for six months. Renewing it is normally fairly straight forward once you do it before the old one expires. It is safest to keep track of your expiry date and submit your passport to renew your visa at least one month before it is required. You can also get the form at the post office but you must then fill it out in Arabic and include the appropriate documents and payment with the completed application form. You will then have to collect it when it is ready.

Sponsors are also obliged to make sure their sponsored individuals abide by local laws but if they don’t they can and will be prosecuted accordingly. There is no alcohol allowed anywhere in Qatar. A working spouse can also sponsor his wife and children to gain entry into the country.

A medical is also required for entry into the country the company you work for will arrange this for you and let you know what you will require for the process. The Medical Commission is responsible for all medicals and they have specific queuing arrangements and separate areas for men and women. You will require QR100 for payment. Keep your receipt as you will need this for collecting your results.

You will have to have both a HIV and a TB test done. Your examination will also require an x-ray and a blood test. Before you leave check that you have had all the necessary tests completed. Normally results will be available within three days.

About a week after this you will be asked to go for finger prints of your fingers and palms. Your employer will then submit the results of your medical exam, your finger prints and your passport for your residency application. When this has been completed you will then need to go to the Immigration Department to pick it up yourself.

Please, note that requirements are often subject to change and it is recommended to check latest changes at the Visa Section of the Qatar Embassy of the country where you currently live.

Two party, UML and Maoists agree ‘to strengthen coalition’

According to Pramod Dahal, press adviser to PM Oli, the two leaders have agreed to “strengthen the left coalition and turn the incumbent government into a national unity one”. “The two leaders were of the view that there is a need to strengthen the current coalition given the current political and social situation,” said Dahal.

Maoist Centre Chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal on Monday held a two-hour-long meeting with Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli as part of his what the Maoist leaders described as the last-ditch effort to seek consensus on unity government.
 

Earlier in the day, the party had decided to hold “decisive negotiations” with the governing UML, the main opposition Nepali Congress and Madhes-based parties among others to forge consensus on national unity government.

Maoist Centre Spokesperson Pampha Bhusal said the party would “explore other alternatives if the efforts to forge consensus fail to bear fruits”. Earlier in the day, during a meeting of the Maoist Centre headquarters at Dahal’s residence, the party chairman had told leaders that the party would stick to the alliance “only if Oli agrees to step down”. According to Maoist leaders, Dahal, however, decided mind to give some more time to Oli after the NC refused to extend support to a national unity government.

Dahal on Monday itself had held talks with NC President Sher Bahadur Deuba.

“The party will start seeking an alternative to the Oli government if Oli fails to work in line with the commitments-both written and verbal,” said a Maoist leader.

vows Minister Rai,Minimum wage will be effective from July 16 itself,

Minister for Information and Communications Sherdhan Rai has said the minimum wage for journalists determined by the government would come into effect from July 16.

He made it clear that the government would not back out from the decision made by the Council of Ministers on May 5 fixing the minimum wage of journalists working in media houses at Rs 19,500 and employees and workers at Rs 14,400;
and of journalists working at other media institutions at Rs 14,100 and employees and workers at Rs 12,500.

A meeting of the Council of Ministers on May 5 had decided to implement the minimum wage for journalists and employees and workers at media institutions to be effective from July 16 based on the recommendation made by the Minimum
 Wage Fixation Committee nearly one year back.

The Information and Communications Minister said this while speaking in a programme of interaction entitled 'Implementation of the Minimum Wage in the Media' organised by the Minimum Wage Fixation Committee here on Monday.

"The minimum wages of the journalists would be enforced and discussions are on regarding the 11-point demands put forth by the media operators for that purpose as well," Minister Rai, who is also the government spokesman, said.

He asserted that the decision regarding the minimum wage of media persons made by the Council of Ministers was not to close down the media with small investment but for the job security of all journalists and media persons.

The Minister urged the media operators, journalists and all those concerned to extent cooperation in implementing the minimum wage rather than involving in making unnecessary comments.

President of the Federation of Nepali Journalists (FNJ) Dr Mahendra Bista stressed on strict implementation of the minimum wage in all media institutions even if it means the government having to increase the services and facilities
provided to the media.

"The physical safety and financial security of the journalists, who have played a role in institutionalising the agendas of every change and giving voice to the voiceless," he said, adding that the FNJ would not hesitate to launch a struggle in
case the minimum wage decision was not implemented in letter and spirit.

FNJ former president Dr Suresh Acharya said the implementation of the minimum wage would not be reliable unless it is published in the Nepal Gazette. He also urged the Minimum Wage Fixation Committee to also monitor the implementation
of the decision on minimum wage.

Journalist Prateek Pradhan opined that it would be difficult for the media with small investment to implement the minimum wage.

Presenting a working paper on the occasion, advocate Agni Prasad Thapaliya said implementing the minimum wage would not be a big problem if only the journalists and the media institutions who are well-informed, conscious and professional
think on this matter positively and with patience.

It has been two decades since the Minimum Wage Fixation Committee instituted as per the Working Journalist Act, 2051 (First Amendment 2064) started its work in connection to ensuring job security and professional development
of the working journalists, workers and employees working in media institutions. RSS
