We are working in G4S Security services W.L.L, Qatar from 2009.All private and public sector security companies incresed S/Guard salary up to 3000 QAR because of the uprising living cost all over the world.But our company provide us QAR 1000 + 200 as food allowence only. This salary is for 12 hour duty in 26 working days, and if we are working 30 or 31 days company gives us 4 or 5 days over time respectively.Out of about 6000 guards 1500 guards have 8 hour duty and they get weekly off and almost same salary (only 50 Riyals less) also!We ever see such an illogical and irrational salary and service package!And company's attitude towards guards are very bad eventhough they are the earning members of the company.If any emergency messages or even faxes are sen from our home, the company never inform us on proper time and never allow to go home on time.Our company never provide the necessary documents for travelling and the leave salary comfortably and even more times it provides only before 3 or 4 hours of travel! we don't know how such a big multi national company behave like this.We think the management is a failure to understand the present worker's status in another private companies in Qatar and other GCC countries. It is requested through this web site because if we directly requested, they will take diciplinary actions like salary deduction, compulsory off and even termination against us.Because of Qatar's sponsorship law we can't comeback or join another company without their NOC, so that the company treated us as slaves.Please help us if you can, or forward this mail to the concerned authorities, we shall ever very thankful for your help.

Become an electrician. Just like a security guard, no experience needed.

the 3rd world, that's how it is called. This is a capitalist way of running business. All benefjts will only go to the share holder, workers=slaves, nothing else.

That's why some people said: "take it or leave it". Nothing else you can do

Why don't you apply for jobs in countries other than Qatar if they pay more money?
