allowance and benefits for married expats
By nabilnabulsi •
HI TO ALL.
Am here on a working visa like most of all of us, I hold a managerial position, and a bachelor package. Been here for 3 years.
Recently i got married. And I want to bring my wife to stay with me.
My question is am i entitled to ask for family allowance from my company, or any other benefits??
life expenses are not my main concern.
right now the company provides me with accommodation, but its shared 2 bed apartment with 1 other person.
as a married person am i entitled to ask for accommodation allowance, and if you what percentage should i expect.
as for the visa the company has already approved a family visit visa so that is not an issue either.
WT, You need to count the wife's income as well ................. .... your worries are un-founded ...............
Okay Nabil, Follow Brit ....... It's better if you go for HR executive's short term course to understand the other dept.'s responsibilities ....... ........ ... other areas are medical, security etc where you may think to get the basic knowledge. ..... ..... before you apply the visa for your spouse ........... Good luck & joys ......... Expect your wife to be here in early 2018 ..{ yes 2018 } ........ !
You are entitled to nothing. The only thing you are entitled to is that life will become more expensive now.
MM is wrong. You are entitled to benefits as per your contract . If your contract stipulates that if married , you can avail these benefits , then you can ask them to be initiated ..
If your contract states bachelor status , then you can approach your management and HR to modify your contract and benefits .. It is up to them to agree
Congrats, Yes, You are entitled to HRA, her tickets, medical, club membership to begin with .......... Contact the HR girls tomorrow afternoon ...........
