Hello,

According to the Qatar Labor Law (Qatar Labor Law No. 14 of 2004), the specifics for leave salary and air ticket eligibility are as follows:

Leave Salary:
- Employees are eligible for an annual leave of not less than three weeks if the service is less than five years, and four weeks if the service is more than five years.
- The leave salary should be paid to the employee before the commencement of their annual leave.
- Leave salary is calculated based on the basic salary at the time of leave excluding any kind of allowances.

Air Ticket Eligibility:
- Every employee has the right to get a round trip air ticket to their home country once every two years.
- The air ticket allowance is generally based on the employee's salary and the cost of the economy class ticket.
- If the employee does not use this allowance, the equivalent value can be paid in cash, but this depends on the company's policy.

To calculate the leave salary:
1. Find out the basic salary of the employee.
2. Divide the basic salary by 30 to get the daily wage.
3. Multiply the daily wage by the number of leave days to get the total leave salary.

For air ticket allowance:
1. Determine the cost of the economy class round trip ticket to the employee's home country.
2. Check if the company policy allows for cash payment if the ticket is not used.

Please remember that company policy and employment contracts may provide benefits above these legal minimums, so always refer to those for the most accurate information.
