Levels of air travel provided vary from first class to excursion .
I note that travel allowance isn't on your list. Generally this is provided but check and make sure.
Location allowance for working outside Doha is not guaranteed and in many companies isn't paid.
Expat allowance is not a standard payment and is frequently incorporated into the base salary.
Minimum levels of ESB are established by the government and I think (but am not sure) are currently 3 weeks basic pay per year of service.
House furnishing "grant" as opposed to allowance may or may not be paid. The 50,000 quoted may be a little excessive
Electricity and water may be a useage allowance. Above a given level, you may be charged.
Annual bonus, don't rely on one being paid.
Car loan, some companies (mainly government) give an interest free car loan every 3 years. Tha amount varies dependant upon the salary.
Where necessary, check with the company.
QR20,000 Total - This is quite good, depends on nationality, Irish right? could get more depending on extra perks. Get them to cover housing costs as landlords are adding 10% a year to rental prices.
What are the standard benefit packages offered by private companies
annual flights/tickets are standard - circa 5-7,000 pa per person
Travel allowance 1-2,000 per month
Location allowance (if not Doha) 400-1,000 QR per month
"Expat allowance" (or whatever they may call it) can be up to 20% of basic.
End of sevrice benefit - should be one month basic per year worked
Housing furnture allowance (if not furnished) - 15,000-50,000
Who pays the water elec bills? can get 400QR per month to cover
Car loan possible, 0% interest up to 5 x your basic
Yearly bonus (1 - 2 times basic)
Yearly increment???
Schooling - if you need it get it sorted before you arrive....
What are the standard working hours for private companies?
Varies either 7-3 or 8-4. 5 days a week
What are the standard holidays per annum? between 20-37 working days
its a good package..!! most companies do include annual air flight ticked additionally
