10 things you must know being employed in Qatar _________________________________________ For full story, please visit: myqatarjobs.net/?page_id=123 _________________________________________ Whether you are exploring career opportunities in Qatar or already working here, you must be aware of your rights and duties as an employee. Here are some essential points compiled from the Qatar Labour Law, Ministry of Interior directives and tips from HR professionals: 1. Before signing an employment contract Make sure you’ve understood it completely. Contracts submitted to the labour ministry are bi-lingual. Ensure you’ve checked both parts of it. According to the Qatar Labour Law, the following articles must be clearly specified on a contract: » Name of employer, place of work » Name, qualifications, nationality, profession and residence of the worker and the proof necessary for his identification » Date of conclusion of the contract » Nature and type of work and place of contracting » Date of commencement of work » Period of the contract if it is of a definite duration » The agreed wage and the method and date of the paymentIn addition, also read through and clarify any additional clauses that the employer may have added to the contract. Now would be a good time, before signing the employment contract, to request for a clause that would allow you to change sponsors in future. But, be aware that not all companies have this policy. » It’s the employer’s responsibility to take care of your visa expenses. 2. Overtime dues The Qatar Labour Law specifies that if an employer requires workers to work above the regular working hours per day, then this should not exceed 10 hours unless the work is necessary to prevent gross loss or dangerous accident or for repair/alleviation of the consequences of said loss/accident. The compensation should not be less than the basic wage plus not less than 25% thereof. _________________________________________ For full list, please visit : myqatarjobs.net/?page_id=123 __________________________________________ Brought to you by myqatarjobs.net
