Q6: What are the rules for sick leave?

You’re only entitled to a sick leave three months after date

of employment.

You need to provide a medical certificate from a doctor

approved by your employer to obtain the right to a sick

leave.

You receive full payment if sick leave is not more than two

weeks

If your sick leave is more than two weeks, you receive half of

your salary for another four weeks

If the sick leave is more than the period stated above, the

leave will be without payment until you report back to work,

resign, or terminate your service for medical reasons.

yes that is true. hamad hospital are giving only 14 days medical leave with pay. since they give you 25 days medical leave. 14 days of that will be considered with pay leave while the other is without pay...

Yes, first 14 days will be paid on full pay scale and the balance days up to 30days will be calculated on your basic and thereafter it will on "Without Pay".
