this is not acceptable, who is signing your final quotation (tender submittal documents). if its signing by your estimation manager (that should be his responsibilities) or if sign by your company GM (his responsibilities).even if you sign that is not your problem. there is nothing in labour contract or employer contract regarding this issue. this is your company fault not your fault. if you are ready to resign you may proceed with qatar human right NOW. or do you want to survour your life with this stupid company then keep quit. but dont loose your hard earn money

well, which company are you working for?

Ofcourse human can make mistake, its natural fact, n there isn't any such law in whole of the world i blv, but depends upon ur contract agreement with ur company.

Moreover tell me sumthing, u were alone responsible for tht quote or sumone was working with u?

Is the project already awarded to your company? In any case there is no law that says things like that should be deducted to the estimator's salary, not unless it is specifically written in your contract.

I also was an estimator before, also missed a lot of items but in the end company is thankfull to me because if I haven't forget those items, we might have lost the project to a lower bidder.

You may have forgot that item but in some items you might have put a higher price so it will balance in the end.

BOQ means Bill of Quantity. contract is charged as per contract work request.

Go to the labour court. This is totally ridiculous. Also, I think you should name and shame the company.

What do you mean by miss an item?

Does Your contract or company policy state that such a deduction can take place?
