In May 2020, the Guardian reported that a group of "live out" domestic workers alleged that they were left destitute after refusing to move in with the families whose homes they clean during the COVID-19 pandemic, and that the company who employs them forced them to sign a document stating that it is not liable for their salaries. They have not been paid since early March.

In May 2020, the Guardian reported on the situation for migrant workers in Qatar, highlighting that companies were not meeting their obligations to provide workers with food. One Indian worker reported that his company was not providing sufficient food for workers "trapped" in Doha's Industrial Area. They were also told they would not receive their salaries for April.

Low-wage migrant workers in Qatar... say they have been forced to beg for food as the economic fallout of the coronavirus pandemic takes a devastating toll...
Workers... have described a mounting sense of desperation, frustration and fear... they are desperate, but unable, to return home. Some have been forced to plead for food from their employers or charities...
[Qatar is allowing] companies that have stopped operating due to coronavirus restrictions to put workers on unpaid leave or terminate their contracts. The government said food and accommodation, which is usually arranged by employers, must continue to be provided, but workers’ testimonies suggest in some cases this is not happening.
