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 ?

this is not true, my wife is under my sponsorship and she had a maternity leave.

it seems that your company doesn t want to give you your right.
