Document background
The Job Employment Contract is a legally binding agreement used in Qatar to formalize the employment relationship between employers and employees. This document is essential for both local and expatriate workers, requiring strict compliance with Qatar Labor Law No. 14 of 2004 and subsequent amendments. It serves as the primary reference point for employment terms, including position, compensation, working hours, and benefits, while also being necessary for visa sponsorship purposes for expatriate workers. The contract must be drafted in Arabic (with English translation permitted) and should incorporate all mandatory provisions required by Qatar law, including end-of-service benefits, leave entitlements, and notice periods.
