hi!what will happen to me now that i resigned and my pataka is expired?
By blackmanny •
couple of months ago i gave them my resignation letter and approved 11th of Dec as my last day.I already had the ticket for same date but to my disgust,they asked for an amount of 3500 QR where in when i checked the breakdown,they included charges for bedding/furniture and 500 as resignation fee.I did not pay the amount so obviously,they did not let me go.my pataka is already expired for i am now 14 months here.What do you think shall i do?
You should go to the labour department and explain everything. If it is not stipulated in the contract and you have you contract with you then they might help but you shouldnt wait, authorities have made big improvement and they are really helpful in this matter.
They are a lot of companies that abuse workers and Qatar is fighting against that so give yourself a piece of mind and go talk to someone there to clarify everything. Good luck to you.
wow! i didnt know its going to that complicated. I did not pay the amount because the contract didnt say anything about paying extra like resignation penalty aside from the hiring charges. And also the accommodation is supposed to be free...i dont have enough money now cause i already paid for my ticket its just that they didnt let me go
upon my expirience,what i know after the expiration of qid u still have an allomwance of 3 months extension to stay and exit qatar before it will expire. u didnt finished your 2 years contract to your employer thats why they charged u like that so better half sell those things in qatar living to get extra anyway they charged them to you and u cannot bring them home with u. and for your remaining days better to find extra job to settle the charges from
your company.
You are now considered illegal. you will have to pay penalties for staying in the country with an expired visa and qid.
