Qatar\u2019s Article 54 sets a statutory minimum of three weeks\u2019 basic wage for every year of service, once you have completed one year. To turn your monthly salary into a weekly figure, multiply by 12 and divide by 52 — then multiply by three for each year worked.
Unlike Saudi Arabia or Kuwait, Qatar uses the same rate for every year, so there is no jump after five years and no resignation reduction in the statutory minimum. Many employers agree a higher rate — a full month per year is common — in which case your gratuity is larger than the figures above.
