In August 2020, HRW released a report that identified clear patterns of salary abuses against migrant workers employed in Qatar. The report was based on interviews with 93 workers under over 60 employers and companies. In this case, a Kenyan worker reports that after paying extortionate recruitment fees to an agent to obtain work in a security company, he was presented with a contract at a cleaning company where he was housed in cramped and unhygienic quarters. After his employer gave permission for the worker to change jobs he was employed with a security company who stated they never give workers permission to change jobs. The accommodation was similarly poor, and the worker experienced various salary abuses including unpaid overtime, lack of holiday and delayed wages. The workers were also not provided with food allowances and had to borrow money for food. During the COVID-19 crisis, the company allegedly "doesn't care much about personal protective equipment".
