The Appointment Offer Letter is a crucial document in Qatar's employment process, serving as the initial formal communication of employment terms between an employer and a potential employee. It must be drafted in compliance with Qatar Labor Law No. 14 of 2004 and related regulations, including recent reforms and amendments. This document is typically used when extending formal job offers to both local and expatriate candidates, and forms the basis for the subsequent employment contract. The Appointment Offer Letter should include all mandatory employment terms required by Qatar law, such as compensation, working hours, probation period, and benefits. For expatriate hires, it also addresses visa sponsorship arrangements. The document's contents must align with Qatar's minimum wage requirements, working hours regulations, and other labor law provisions, making it a legally significant precursor to the employment relationship.
