Document background
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. The document includes all mandatory provisions required by Qatar law, including terms related to probation, compensation, working hours, leave entitlements, and termination procedures. This template is particularly relevant for companies operating in Qatar, especially those employing both local and expatriate workers, and needs to be customized based on the specific employment terms while maintaining compliance with local labor laws.
