Dear All

last month i arrived in Qatar form India as an IT professional and after joining my company i came to know that the company has not paid the salary for the last three months to all their employees and it always do like that and my co workers also told me that i will not be able to take annual leave which is written in my contract as 14 days paid leave and 14 days indemnity annually. because the company does not allow annual leave and still if you want to take leave they will charge 5000 Qr as security, that u will come again after vacation.one more thing i also came to that the company will keep my one month salary for their security. And this things were not told to me either in the time of interview or at the time of agreement.

Please please help me and let me know the safest things i should do to tackle this problem as i am very disheartened by hearing all this information about the company
