Gulf Air New Package

[Albergineman]

The HR changed the new package regarding to housing allowance. If you are in the GF accommodation or leaving in a place where the contract was signed by GF and the landlord, you will not be granted with the new figures of the housing allowance. This is an internal instruction to housing department. If you want it you have to change the contract to your name and have the amount credited to your payslip.
Actually, it wasn’t changed, they “just didn’t informed” us about.
I was checking my contract, pay slip and the new package and there is no mention about differences between GF accommodation and housing allowance but if you don’t want to have any money deducted from your pocket you were limited to the allowance figures.
Example for married F/O phase2 renting a fully furnished apartment:

Housing allowance…………………Bd450
Utility allowance…………………...…Bd48
Taxes……………….aprox. 10% of above
Total…………………………aprox. Bd550

Example for married F/O Compensation package renting a fully furnished apartment:

Housing allowance…………………Bd650
Utility allowance…………………...…Bd48
Taxes……………….aprox. 10% of above
Total…………………………aprox. Bd770

With the new instruction from HR, we under the condition above will not have the benefit to move to a place where the rent is BD770 according to the new package. The HR decided that on the case above we will remain on the phase2 without any explanation about. It goes against what is stated on our contract and in what is written on the new package papers.
Who can explain this?
