Questions
Is gratuity in Qatar 21 or 30 days?
The law sets a minimum of three weeks (21 days) of basic salary per year. Your contract may give more, such as 30 days.
Do I lose gratuity if I resign?
No. If you have completed at least one year, the gratuity is due whether you resign or are terminated.
Example: 9 years at QAR 2,000 basic?
2,000 ÷ 30 × 21 × 9 = QAR 12,600.
