Hi,
Wanted to get some feedback on compensation policies prevalent in Bahrain.
While I am aware, there can be no generic rule, it would be great to get some pointers as to the most prevalent practice.
1. Are there annual increments ? In Oman, its either 3% and (in many cases, it remains the same. So even if you got a good starting amount, it may not be look that great after 3 years).
2. What are the usual perks that government companies are likely to provide ? Let me provide some common examples that comes to my mind.
a) medical insurance for self and family
b) Return airfare to home country for self and family
c) Car allowance (is there any example of providing car with driver ?)
d) Education allowance
It would be great if members could add to this list .
Also, my understanding is , like other GCC countries , till now there is no Income Tax .
Is there a remittance tax yet ( or VAT ? )/
Appreciate your feedback on the same.
Thanks
