Final settlement calculator for Qatar
When a job ends in Qatar, the final settlement brings together everything the employer still owes you.
It usually includes the end-of-service gratuity, pay for leave you didn't take, any salary still due and, if notice wasn't given, pay in lieu of notice.
How it's calculated
- The gratuity is at least 3 weeks of the last basic salary for each year of service, from 1 year of service.
- Unused leave is paid in cash at your basic salary.
- Notice is 1 month in the first two years and 2 months after that. Whoever skips it pays the other side the basic salary for that period.
An example
After 4 years on a basic salary of QAR 9,000, with 1.5 weeks of leave left and full notice worked, the settlement is QAR 28,350 with the ÷ 30 × 7 method.
Frequently asked questions
What can make me lose my gratuity?
Being dismissed for one of the reasons listed in Article 61, such as fake documents, revealing business secrets or more than seven days of unexcused absence in a row.
Who pays my flight home?
The employer must return you at its own cost to the place it recruited you from, or to another place you agreed.
Can the employer keep part of my settlement?
It can deduct amounts you owe it from the gratuity. If you left without notice, it can also claim the basic salary for the notice period.
