o All,
Been lurking on these boards for a while now and picked up loads of useful information but have a couple of questions I'd like to nail down for UK payroll G11+ employees. I will probably be based in the field for the working week and returning to a base camp (ABQ/ RT) weekends so am considering various married/single/home location options.
I know that family status employees can receive a housing allowance and stay off camp. Could they stay over in Bahrain and still receive the allowance? I believe some Aramcons do this but how do they get over the rule that the wife should be in Kingdom for 6 months to maintain married status?
I was alternatively wondering if bachelor (single) status employees could also receive this allowance given the apparent housing shortages on some camps and lengthy commutes required (eg ABQ to DHA). This may be a workable option given I am away for the working week.
