local company(sponsored by qatari)...but owned by expat arab.i will suggest you to find out who is the qatari sponsor and complain to him cause normally they are not aware that these arab expat are doing monkey business.if nothing happens then go to labor office.

yes, i'll also go to my embassy and look for advise.

before i come here,i've heard so many cases of how shit is the middle east/qatar local company, and i know people who had the same experience like me, i regret so much to join a local company, if anybody is planning to come to qatar or middle east, pls dont join locals company, because it's too crazy, and they can just suddenly kick u out for no reason or refuse to pay u salary after u resign, they play many games, trust me.

so..seems all of u think i should let my salary behind and the company will have a person who work one month free for them, and let them broke the contract? so, whats the meaning of "contract"?

is there nothing to protect employee?

i think i'll first go to the labour department,cos i know this company already have a very bad name and many records there, let see if they can help.

i just want to say, the things that happen to me now, and had happen to people who already leave qatar, will happen the same to any of u also, so, everyone should know how to handle if it's happen, not just let it.

otherise it will get worst and worst, then nothing will protect all the employees anymore.

COOL DOWN....one can never win against the management...that's why we say BOSS is ALWAYS RIGHT.

YOU ARE IN GULF NOT IN US, CANADA OR HONGKONG....THINK TWICE B4 U SPEND OR CALL A LAWYER

you may seek help from your embassy also.

and what is their reason of terminating you? what did you do?

and yes, my father won a case against his old company. all compensation was awarded to him. and he is still here in doha, employed on another company.

Have u ever heard of an expat winning a case against the company here in Qatar? In your dreams. And the charges? better you pack your bags and leave for your home country.

By BK• 18 Nov 2008 12:10

or should i go to the labour department?

cos the company resign me 1 week ago and my contract is 3 months termination time, and they now say they'll not pay anything n i should leave now. (even the salary for this month they'll not pay), i'm really angry, i'm going to start my new work on jan 09 anyway, but i will not just let it, cos this company is really shit!
