According to Article (20) of Law No. (24) Year 2002 and its amendment, the Qatari employee/worker who ended his service, had not be entitled to a pension, and work to another employer, may request for Previous Service Periods Addition, as the following conditions:
- Submit the request on the approved forms of GRSIA.
- Work to an employer covered by the Law at the date of request.
- Spend the Previous Service Periods on working to an employer who is currently covered by the Law.
- Request to add a full period, not fragmented or less than (12) twelve months.
- Pay the due contributions for that period of (15%) fifteen percent of the last month salary at the date of request, either at once or as installment within (5) five years, as (21QRs) twenty QRs for each (1000) one thousand of the due amount. (See the following table).
The table shows the monthly installment value for each 1000 Riyals of the contribution amounts to be paid. It is according to the required payment period.
| Payment Period | Installment (QR)e |
One Year | 105
|
Two Year | 52.2 |
Three Year | 35 |
Four Year | 26.5 |
Free Year | 21 |
- In the event of requesting to pay the contributions of the added period as installments, the following should be regarded:
- If the employee/ worker end the service before paying the installments, due to death or incapacity, the period of paid installment is added to the actual service period and the reminder installments are suspended.
- If the service ends due to other than the above reasons, the contributions are reverted, unless the pensioner requests to continue paying the installment.
- In the event of requesting to pay the contributions through installment, the pension may not be paid until the full payment of the installment.
For example: An employee worked to Qtel from 01/01/1991 to 31/12/1995 and his salary was 5000QR, then he worked to Qatar Petroleum from 01/01/1998 and he is still there, with the salary of 10.000QRs. Now he wants to add his service period with Qtel.
In this case, he bears (15%) fifteen percent based on his salary at the date of the apposition request, which is 10.000 QRs, for every month of the apposition period.
- The apposition period is (01/01/1991- 31/12/1995)= (5) Five years
- 10.000 × 60 × 15% = 90.000 QRs
