This Definite Employment Contract template is designed for use in Qatar when establishing fixed-term employment relationships governed by Qatar Labour Law No. 14 of 2004 and its amendments. The contract is specifically structured to comply with local labor regulations while protecting both employer and employee interests. It should be used when hiring employees for a specific project, temporary replacement, or any situation requiring a fixed-term employment arrangement.
