What is the minimum wage in Qatar and the food and housing allowance?

Qatar has one minimum wage for everyone, including domestic workers. The basic wage is at least QAR 1,000 a month. If your employer does not give a room, they must pay at least QAR 500 for housing. If they do not give food, they must pay at least QAR 300 for food. So with no room and no food, your minimum should be QAR 1,800 a month. If your employer gives a decent room and food, QAR 1,000 basic is allowed. A contract paying less than the minimum is void, and the employer still owes the difference.
