CONSPEL is still operating.
Most of the time, it is the company that we work for and the sponsor that takes advantage of us less fortunate in understanding the Arabic to English conversion of the law and Labor law of Qatar.
We work a 6 day work week, and our sponsor is a very old family in Qatar and a huge business establishment. You know the establishment is old when you look at the Post Box number and it a one digit or 2 digit..
We used to apply for annual leave from Saturday and travel on Thursday night by the last flight out of Qatar. Or, we would take leave from the date Eid holidays end and travel on the night before eid Holidays.
About 4 years ago on returning from leave, we got our salary deducted on grounds that the Law gives us a day to rest and does not entitle travel out of country. Even imagine, the 3 or 4 days eid holidays are lost as it is either salary deduction or if the company is lenient with you, it gets reduced from your annual leave entitlement. Here again, the game is, no advance leave till after due date, ie, completion of 365 work days from rejoining. So you are stuck.
