I agree that there is a big difference in payscales between Hamad staff and private medical sectors. But most private clinics misuse the labour laws and staff benefits are curtailed in private clinics. Most of overtime payments are scaled down at 100% rates or not paid at all !! No action or checking takes place by the NHA or labour department.
Individuals sponsoring expats have to be done away with..let the Qatar govt or Home Ministry be the official sponsor of any expat entering Qatar.
This will also end the days of PseudoQataris ( essentially Expats) enjoying the benefits of very benign Qatar labour laws.
Qatarisation maybe good to some extent in Hamad since its part of a natural and longterm plan. But to blame expats for the inefficient managment going on there smacks of finger poiting exercise. Anyone -whether Qatari or Expat- should be rewarded for putting in place efficiency and harwork.
