Is ladies on Husband Sponsorship not entitled to Maternity leave as per Qatar Labour Law
Is ladies on Husband Sponsorship not entitled to Maternity leave as per Qatar Labour Law.
Me a lady working in a Contracting Company on Husband Sponsorship since August 2010 till date.
But Now as i have applied for the paid Maternity leave of 50 days as per the labour law, I am told that I am not eligible for it as i am not on the Company Sponsorship / Visa.
But Since 2 years the govt of Qatar is not issuing the Ladies work visa. therefore the companies opt for Ladies on husband sponsorship / Family visa as it convinent for the companies to immediately hire and do not give the benefits as per the qatar labour law.
I just want to know whether the labour law is meant for the employees who are on the Employer's Visa / Company sponsorship ?
Can anyone Provide me the labour department number.
anyone working more than a year has the right to get maternity leave from her employer.
the law doesnt say that you should be in the sponsorship of the company, but i believe you should at least have your work permit done to work with them.
