recently i encounterd a problem ...not mine but someone else's prob..he has been in qatar for almost 55 years n work here both in govt bodies n private ..
now he has beenworking with his sponsor who is a KUWARI.
its been 6 years now ...the sponsor started a factory from zero..nothing at hand .the person firts mentioned worked hard to make a position n now the factory is running well doing business.
then sumthing happend, the employee got injured on duty time.broke his feet.hospitalized for a month ..
the employee cum sponsor did not even bore the expenses of the hospital plus when asked by the doctors bout the insurance the employee told that it was not even there.
during his stay at the hospital the epmlpoyer did not even call him wat happend or how it happend ..instead told the employee to come on the duty ..he threww away his madeical certificate for leave n said if he is not coning on job then he shuld stay at home n not come back plus he didnt even pay his previous months wage saying that u are fired..
all i want to know is that how to handle the situation here wat the emplyee shud do.he is helpless ..dont even know if there is any law in favour of his situation
any one with sum help plz contact me on the forum plzzz
its a sort of urgent.
yer right cynbob... we just take a look and pity them, we can never REALLY do anything... with regards to the injustices i mean...
These unfair practices toward laborers just continue to boggle my mind...another sad situation. It's just pathetic.
Qatar court of course... and filing a case against a Qatari sponsor...yeah right... i hope the people feeding him the idea that yer friend will win this are in their right minds...
mental disorder eh? so the more that yer friend shouldn't push through with the complaint...
remember the .... "plead for insanity cases???" or something like that...
good luck...
thanx for the great piece of advice and he does have a medical reported signed by the social service officer sombody recently told him to do the same but the problem is my friend is not willing to leave his job coz he says he gave him his full 6 years' night n days n he is not even willing to leave the sponsor coz he helped him when he waz totaly helpless so he thinks its rude to go to the court n file a case against him.he is told that he is on right n the court will help him in this case plus his sponsor is also suffering from some mental disorder so in this case also he can get complete support from the court.lets see if he is working on it or not..n if he is not then wat???
any hope or another way out..?
he's not the first...and definitely won't be the last
and with the name mentioned. tough one to fight of u ask me...
the work injuries and compensation thereof are NOT always followed. esp if the company doesn't give a s**t about their people. They (company) always have ways of patching things up... and the more if it is a private workplace...
if u think that he doesn't have a chance of working again, ask yer friend to resign, i know this will the most horrible comment u will ever read... but with how the way the story goes, i can bet my meager salary, yer friend has a FAT chance of WINNING the battle...
all the best for yer friend...
***REALITY BITES***
don't make me laugh. This person is screwed. The more I see over here, the more I see that the laws do not apply for workers over here.

there is a provision on Qatar Labor Law (Part 11 : Work Injuries & Compensation Thereof),it might also be useful to read Part 10 Safety,Vocational Health & Social Care. Try to ask help from ur friends embassy & the Human Rights here.But ur friend will surely need some documents as proof......goodluck,hope this helps
the social services of the hospital he was admitted to could have done something before he was discharged. i think the best thing is to go to labor department and file a complaint against the scrupulous employer.
