Living Allowance
I've been tipped off about a job which has a salary of 12000 QR per month and a 'living allowance' of 11000 QR. My question is: what does 'living allowance' generally include? Is it normally just accomodation or does it also include transportation? Also, what's the normal cost of a nice 1-2 bedroom apartment or building in a complex?

Re: Living Allowance
Thats what you call QR23,000 all in. You can rent in the shitbox Ezdan for 5k a month in a 1 bed or a nice 2 bed 7/8k upwards in a few different areas.

Re: Living Allowance
Thanks britexpat76 - sounds like that would include a car allowance? I'm a single chap, so I wouldn't mind sharing with another expat to reduce costs and for company. Is this the 'done thing' out there and, if so, what's the best way to go about finding one?

Re: Living Allowance
A few further questions:
1. Is the 'living allowance' paid just like salary is or do you have to 'claim it back' somehow? 2. What's a typical annual leave allowance and is there any real operational difference to them being work days or calaendar days? If I've got, say, 30 calendar days, can I not just book out 6 x 5 day working weeks? |
Re: Living Allowance
I'm guessing this is like UAE where the employer has to pay you a certain percentage of your basic wage when you depart. Many employers minimise their liability by having a basic wage, which it's payable on, and a living allowance or special allowance which it's not payable on.
