From 01 September 2011, it seems that the University of Ha'il may be one of the very few universities in the Kingdom to discontinue paying the 15% Cost Of Living Allowance to expatriate staff. Interestingly, this is mainly happening to staff renewing contracts, and some - but definitely not all - new hires. Some new hires have been offered and accepted the base salary plus 15% COLA. No official statement has been released by UOH but it seems a decision has been made. Salaries, minus the 15%, are now similar to other universities in KSA, thus removing any remunerative compensation there may have been for employment in this remote institution. One can't help but sense an obscure approach to this decision and failure to inform valued staff prior to their good faith signing of contract renewal documents. The 15% will be reinstated enshallah.
