 The Ministry of Labour in Qatar has announced a Eid al-Fitli Vacation of 3 days for all the private workers in Qatar. Remember? This comes as an establishment in its treaty that all workers in Qatar in the private sectors are entitled to a 3 days vacation leave that is fully paid as according to the article 74 of the Labour Law. What does it mean that in any of those professions that you are working in, any of those job areas that you are working in? Let's say for example, you are a security guard, let's say for example you are a cleaner, you are a technician, you are anyone that works in the private sector, you are entitled to have 3 days of vacation for the Eid al-Fitli celebration and those days as according to the Ministry, those days should be fully paid by your company. Remember? These are part of the celebrations to mark the national days and when we go back to look at the article, the article 74 of the National Article of the Labour Law, it entitles you to be paid overtime on a national day in case it is being worked in another way. That is the latest information that we have from the Ministry of Labour. However, the Ministry still stresses it that in case, let's say for example, in case that 3 days holiday, that your nature of work does not entitle you to have those vacations or does not entitles you to have the leave in those 3 days. What does it mean? The Ministry says that those days should be fully paid with what you call overtime because remember, all employees are being, all employees are entitled to have vacation for 3 days. But however, depending on the nature of the position, depending on the nature of the work that you are doing at that particular time, you cannot have the 3 days. So that means you will continue working or you will continue going to duty. But however, as per the Ministry, your company should pay you those days and should pay them as overtime. If you are working for 12 hours, that means that will be overtime of 12 hours. If you are working for 8 hours or 9 hours, that means it will be overtime of 9 hours because as per the government, as per the Ministry, you are supposed to be off, but you cannot get off because of the nature of your work. We look at some jobs like, for example, the security guards that will not entitles to get off at that time. That means if you are a security guard and you do not take an off in those 3 days, those 3 days you work them to fully as per the Ministry, it's supposed to be overtime. Each day that you work, if it is 12 hours, that means it's supposed to be overtime of 12 hours. If you work for 9 hours duty, then that means it's supposed to be overtime of 9 hours duty. That is per the statement that is coming from the Ministry and to all the private sector. Likewise to the technicians, likewise to other departments, like cleaning departments, likewise to other departments, all people in the private sector that are working in different departments that are entitled to those 3 days of vacation which are being given by the law or which are given by the labor law as per the article 74 of the catalepu that entitles the establishment or that entitles you to be paid overtime of such kind of day in case it is being worked in one or the other. Remember, when we are talking about these national days, we talk about the Eid al-Fitli. Those are 3 days. We talk about Eid ad-Doha. We also talk about those 3 days. Then we also talk about, we can't fail to mention the national day that is the independence day, which is 1 day. Meaning that in the year, those days are fully paid. They must be given as fully paid days even if when you get off or even if your area of work does not get to go to work on that day. You must be paid according to the ministry of labor at the same time. It still entitles because something that you need to remember when it comes to the matter of Ramadan, something I need to remind you, when it comes to the matter of Ramadan, the normal working hours per the ministry of labor or per the government of Qatar according to the labor law, the maximum working hours for all people in the private sector is supposed to be 6 hours meaning that if for your occasion in that time you are working more than 6 hours, that should be calculated as what we call over time. Still when we look at the normal other time apart from Ramadan, the normal working hours of all employees in the private sector in Qatar is supposed to be 8 hours. 8 hours, that means maximizing your working you have 48 hours in the week and if you are working during the week that means you will be entitled to work 36 hours in the week. That is what the ministry is doing but however, sometimes you find that some companies have been violating this. The reason for me making this video is to you to be aware that some of these are being put forward by the government and it is our responsibility also to follow because remember if for example you worked in this you worked this Ramadan and you are entitled to 3 days but your company does not pay you at the end of it all. This one will definitely be reflected on what we call the pay slip or on what we call the message that are being sent to you for the payment. Get a screenshot of that message, print it out, keep it as what we call a proof of evidence that are being sent to you a proof of evidence that I was not paid and this kind of thing because even if you are to go to the minister of labour to actually urge it out that I was not paid and yet as per the catalay balu I'm supposed to be paid I was not paid by my company they will definitely ask from you they will tell what is the proof that you will not be paid the only proof that you will not be paid at that time is that amount of money that was being wired or that amount of money that was being wired to your account or put on your account that will show you that amount that was stupidated or what was supposed to be given to was not supposed to be given was not given to as your company and in that matter or in that case actually the minister will be able to follow up will be able to have evidence and follow it up that is why it's always very important for you to keep a screenshot of those messages for you in case you have an inquiry regarding your salary in one way or another because that's the only way that's the only way and you can prove it to the company that I was not paid for this amount and it is being tied to me by the Labour Law remember we say the Ministry of Labour has announced and treated in unfit revocation for workers in the private sector establishment is subject to what we call the Labour Law which is three days fully paid by the Ministry of Labour indicated that if a worker condition requires a worker to be employed on such kind of days or during the EAD holiday the provisions relating to overtime work and their allowances are mentioned in what we call the article 74 of the Labour Law and shall be applied those allowances that you're supposed to get or that overtime that is supposed to be entitled to you for working in those periods are supposed to be applied as according to the Ministry still something I need to remind you about the article 74 of the Labour Law what is the article 74 of the Labour Law and what does it say ah the article says that according to the article 74 of the Labour Law the employer shall pay the worker the additional working hours at a rate not less than the basic wage or a plus not less than what we call 25 hours meaning 25% meaning that if for example in this Kiloma Danwe you have 3 days if you work each day that means that overtime should be equivalent to that same hours that you worked on that day if you work 12 hours then that means 12 hours will be the normal pay for working on that day but still the 12 hours will also be another calculation of what you call the overtime each one hour will be calculated as overtime on top of what you're going to get as what you call the basic pay that is what the ministry or that is what in the article 74 of the Labour Law that it says however something that you need to remember when it comes to the national days in Katal or when it comes to national days in the Gulf that employers who are subject to what you call the Labour Law in Katal are required to grant what you call full payment for leave for 3 days what does it mean that if you are an employer or if you are not in a company in Katal or in Katal you are subject to what you call the Labour Law you have to follow what you call the Labour Law so meaning that if the government if the ministry works up to give the 3 days to all employees the private sector or even the public sector because remember now the public sector are having a total of 10 days on vacation which are fully paid now for the private sector which is having the 3 days as per the minister of Labour your company or your employer is obligated to pay you that amount of money or to pay you that amount of overtime that is being worked on that day hope I've tried to share it out rightly thank you so much for coming back to this channel remember it makes from the next creation always giving you the updates around the group giving the updates around Katal giving you the updates around the Gulf countries the latest information travel will give us the restriction travel restrictions I give you about the jobs all moving around the group in the Gulf countries thank you so much for coming back to this channel by the way don't forget to tune in don't forget to hit that subscribe button and also hit the notification button because it will be the only way that it will be always alerted when I upload something new thank you so much see you again see you again in the next video as we try to look at more of the latest updates
