The newspaper mentioned in a report that thousands of workers participated in two demonstrations last week to protest the delay in salaries and "inhuman" conditions.
Videos showed crowds of workers in yellow jackets gathering on a street near the capital, Doha.
One protester says, "We have not received any salaries for 4 months and have not taken any leave since 2013."
He noted that "the water we drink is unfit for human consumption."
International scrutiny has increased in Qatar since the Gulf country chose to host the games, after human rights groups accused it of exploiting foreign workers.
World Cup victims
The Nepali government says 1,426 of its citizens have died in Qatar since it was awarded the World Cup in 2010.
Some of these workers died in accidents on the job, while others died due to the high temperatures after working at temperatures exceeding 45 degrees.
A non-governmental organization expected that the number of victims of the World Cup projects will reach 4 thousand by the time the games start.
Qatar has a migrant workforce of more than two million people, including 300,000 workers who help build the eight stadiums in Qatar, in addition to other infrastructure needed for the tournament.
