locational allowance in QP

By thejas

Apart from basic, housing and travel, does QP pay locational allowance for grade 15/16 if the work site is far off from doha, say in Ras Laffan? 

Appreciate if some friend in the forum can provide information,

 

Regards

Hello guys!!

 

For onshore, QP location allowance is pay as per your working day. Say, even if you are living in Dukhan, QP still pay you location allowance for each working day in Dukhan.

Of course not, it's still as clear as mud.

If it doesn't mention per night then it must be per day.

Hi....nice to see you

 

There are two differenct sides to the table...offshore (rate per night) which is 185QR per night spent and then the other column says onshore rate per working day which is 85QR for grades 14-23.  The offshore category specifies Drilling Rigs & Production Stations; the onshore says Dukhan/RasLaffan & Drilling Rigs/Production Stations & Other Areas.

Have I managed to confuse the matter more?

 

Cheers,

Molly

Is that per working day or per night spent at the location?

Is this what you mean?

Location allowance for Ras Laffan is 85 QR per working day for a Grade 15 (reading it from the terms and conditions of employment). 

 

Cheers,

Molly

allowance was paid for Mesaieed, Dukhan and offshore locations I assume it's still the same but don't know the levels of allowance.

I think it may only apply if you are required to spend the night at the  remote location.

Thanks Afaque, but thats strange,

I know other oil companies in the gulf pay handsome amounts for working in far off sites,
