My wife joined in HMC with overseas contract.(offer letter showing as overseas)now HMC Hr dept forcing her to sign the contract as local ,because they are telling that ur husband is working in Qatar.they are telling that -it is HMC policy that if husband is working in Doha,only local contract can be sign.while recruiting time or in the offer letter, they did not mansion about this HMC policy.
I herd that according to Qatar law among husband and wife-only one can get housing allowance.
HMC not asked about my salary or getting housing from my company.she tell the truth,that is why this happen.I feel this is cheating from HMc.

Gab the solution to this problem you should learn from Arabs. They know they will be cheated for money, so they cheat them about their degrees & work. If you are honest, then you are doomed. In HMC, half of the staff is holding fake degree & they don't know single thing about their work. But I don't blame them, a cheat employer will get a cheat employee. Tit for tat.

HMC Hr department is full of cheats. You think because your wife told them about you that's why they are asking you to sign local contract, but you are completely wrong. It has happened n number of times in the past as well. They appoint single ladies promising oversea contract. They dilly dally in giving her housing allowance & ultimately they ask her to rent a housing on her own.In short which means local contract. The fact is that there is a hell lot of corruption especially in housing department.I think they pocket the housing allowance.

Then tell them to provide house... if not housing...

Without house or housing allowance its no use joining HMC...

... another sign of recession... they are pulling the housing allowance of all newcomers...

if husband recieving all allowances including housing in his company the wife must not or in vice versa, that's why hmc force her to sign local contract to meet the criteria.

Best is to read the HMC employee manuals pertaining to housing allowance. If mentioned that such regulations exist then she cannot insist to received housing allowance due to the fact that husband is here, however if she's sponsored by HMC, then she should received a bachelor housing allowance. However they still have another option, that is to terminate the contract. So better check all your options/laws before deciding what action to be taken.

That is true, if you want to work for HMC, you would have to accept local hire contract. You probably did not disclose that your spouse is already working in Qatar at the time of interview. If you had disclosed that, HMC would have offered you a local contract.

johnson is right...don't sign any other contract, if they are forcing too much go through embassy , human rights committee, labor department.....

Since she joined in HMC with overseas contract,she has the right to get the housing.Don't sign in local agreement.Its ur right to get the allowance.
