Qatar: Al Nasr Star Security guards allege labour abuse incl. overtime pay below the minimum, forced off days with wage cuts, recruitment fee-payments & long shifts

"Security guards in Qatar still being paid as little as 35p an hour,"

Security guards employed by a company with contracts at sites linked to the World Cup in Qatar are allegedly still being paid as little as 35 pence an hour, four months after the Guardian first revealed their plight.

... Interviews this month with security guards employed by Al Nasr Star Security Services at multiple sites suggests the issue of illegal pay remains.

While the company pays a basic wage in line with the law, overtime pay appears to be far below the legal limit, with workers claiming they receive only 150 rials (£34) for up to 104 hours of overtime in a month, the equivalent of less than 35 pence an hour. The Guardian has seen pay notifications that support these allegations...

In some cases, workers alleged they are being paid even less than before, after Al Nasr Star Security Services required them to take time off in an apparent attempt to comply with regulations limiting working hours. The guards opposed the change, saying they need to work long hours to make up for their low wages...

Despite enduring mind-numbing 12-hour shifts, workers are afraid to speak up. They all paid recruitment agents in their own countries to secure their jobs and, however meagre their wages, they need to repay their debts and send money home to their families...

Al Nasr Star Security Services confirmed the location of the labour camp where some of the guards are accommodated, but did not respond to the remaining allegations. The Qatari authorities have been approached for comment.
