Qatar to name and shame employers

Where are these companies published?
I suspect that this was just another easy PR announcement to replace any preventive action.
Doe sthis list include my employer's name (a qatari stated owned comapny) who has not paid me for more than 5 months?
If yes, wher can I see this list?

With Qatar's building of a tourism and hospitality industry capable of running up to and holding a successful WC2022, it will require an additional 90 - 120,000 qualified, experienced and trained, multi-lingual workforce population.

Money alone cannot attract them - professional empowerment, opportunity and quality lifestyles is what attracts, supports and maintains manpower continuity. Many Dubai and Abu Dhabi companies made the change - and far surpass labour law minimum standards to professionalise and internationalise their policies to attract the right level of staff. Qatar must do the same.

Which high-level senior management professional with global experience would subject themselves to being forced to ask permission to leave the country for a weekend away, and having to apply to Immigration for an Exit Permit to go on annual leave?

This is a good idea. Intrusive inspections by a government honestly concerned to actually eradicate problems rather than just promote legislation and rules in the media as if they were a solution on their own.
One wonders when one will see this kind of proactive action in UAE.
OK, the PR consultants will scream in horror, especially for the first couple of years as huge numbers of small companies are sanctioned, and there would be some social consequences as the more parasitic of the sponsors lost much of their income, but, eventually, one has to hope, the country would become fairer and more productive and thus wealthier and more stable.
