HOW TO CALCULATE GRATUITY IN QATAR
GRATUITY CALCULATION IN QATAR
Article 54 of the Qatar labour law states,
The employer shall pay the end of service gratuity to the
worker who has completed employment of one year or more. This gratuity shall be
agreed upon by the two parties, provided that it is not less than a three-week
wage for every year of employment. The worker shall be entitled to gratuity for
the fractions of the year in proportion to the duration of employment.
The gratuity payment in Qatar is based on the employee’s
basic salary and length of service. It may even be reduced depending on the
circumstances of the termination of employment and where the employee was
working.
WHO IS ENTITLED TO A GRATUITY?
On completion of their contract, international workers are
entitled to a gratuity, as long as their contract with that company lasted at
least a year. This means it could be thought of as an end-of-service bonus,
thanking employees for their service to Qatar.
THERE ARE 3 VARIETY OF GRATUITY FACILITIES:
- Below 5 years - Eligible to get 21 calendar days’ salary for each year of service in the first five years of employment
- Between 5 to 10 years - Eligible to get 4 weeks (28 days) calendar days’ salary for each year of service worked beyond five years
- Higher than ten years – Eligible to get 5 weeks (35 Days) of your salary as a gratuity
FORMULA FOR CALCULATING
Basic Salary/30 (one month) X 21 days (three Weeks) x Year
Example (1) : BASIC SALARY – 3000 , 2 Years Working in a
company
Then,
QR 3000÷30 = QR 100 (One day salary)
QR 100 x 21 = QR 2100 (21 Days Salary)
QR 2100 x 2 = QR 4200
(Your total 2 Years of Bonus)
QATAR LAUNCHES ONLINE SERVICE FOR EXPATS TO CALCULATE END OF SERVICE PAYMENT

I have been working for the last 12 years in Qatar.
ReplyDeleteMy Date of joining is 30th June 2008
Last Working Day 30th June 2020.
Company HR representatives informed me that they will pay 21 days for my gratuity. As per Qatar Labour law can you please confirm it is right.
Some of my colleagues said after five years the company needs to pay 28 days for Gratuity.
can you please help me conclude this for my eligible 28days or 21 days.
Higher than ten years – Eligible to get 5 weeks (35 Days) of your salary as a gratuity as per qatar labour law
DeleteCould you kindly clarify the calculations of my gratuity, due to the pandemic situation my company is terminating employees, unfortunately I am one of it. I am with the company for for more than 7 years now and as per my employment offer they mentioned that my EOS will be 30 calendar days per year, but now, suddenly they are changing the EOS calculations from 30 days to 21 days. In the Qatar labor law they didn't stipulate the 3 variety of gratuity facilities.
ReplyDeleteThank you and awaiting for your advise.
Assume that your salary is QR 2000
Deleteyour total service period is 7 years.
Calculating formula: Basic Salary / 30 (one month) x 28 (4 Weeks) x Years
QR 2000÷300 = QR 66.66 (Your One day salary)
QR 66.66 x 28 Day = 1866.48 (Your 28 days salary)
QR 1866.48 x 7 years = 13065.36 (Your Total 7 years of gratuity)
what if the company is not declaring the true salary of the employee. what if its lower than the actual. then the gratuity computation will be much lower. where can he file his complaint about this thanks. what document can he show to prove it.
