Labour contract Qatar

To ensure a proper employment contract in Qatar, it is essential to have a written agreement that is verified by the Ministry of Administrative Development, Labor, and Social Affairs (MADLSA). This contract should be available in both English and Arabic, making it convenient for immigrants.

Three original copies of the contract will be prepared – one for the employee, one for the employer, and one retained by MADLSA. Additionally, you can acquire a labor card from MADLSA, which you should carry with you at all times. This system fosters transparency among employees, employers, and the government.
